Steven Tyler made a thrilling comeback at the Hollywood Palladium, surprising fans with a powerful performance of Aerosmith classics. He was joined by an all-star lineup, including Chris Robinson, Nuno Bettencourt, Matt Sorum, Mick Fleetwood, and Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton, at his Janie’s Fund Grammy viewing party.
This return was especially exciting for fans after Aerosmith’s final tour was canceled in 2023 due to Tyler’s vocal cord injury. Although he briefly appeared on stage with The Black Crowes last spring, this was his first full performance since the injury.
Tyler started the night with Mick Fleetwood and Nuno Bettencourt, performing “More Than Words” before diving into Aerosmith hits like “Toys in the Attic,” “Dream On” (a duet with Lainey Wilson), “Sweet Emotion,” and “Walk This Way.” He closed the show with an electrifying cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Heartbreaker.”
