Steven Tyler: Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has reportedly left the band. According to The Las Vegas Sun, the band's guitarist Joe Perry is saying that Tyler has quit the band following a concert in Abu Dhabi. The band's bassist Tom Hamilton has reportedly also spoken out about dissension among the band members, and dismissed a report that guitarist Brad Whitford had discussed the possibility of Aerosmith finding a new lead singer.

However, Perry did reveal that he believes Tyler is "history."

"Steven quit as far as I can tell," Perry said. "I don't know anymore than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don't know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don't know."

Part of the problem, he says, is that Tyler doesn't return his phone calls.

"He's notorious for that," Perry said. "That's one thing I've learned to live with. I try to overlook it. I like to pick my battles. Frankly, the last few months I've been wanting not to rock the boat. I don't want him canceling any more gigs. We really wanted to do these last four. We just kind of didn't want to call him out or anything and get him anymore pissed off, for whatever reason. So we just let things lie. So we did the gigs and, like I said, I got off the plane and saw this online. That's how I know about it."
