Aerosmith has decided to cancel the rest of their tour so that frontman Steven Tyler can heal from injuries sustained when he fell off a stage during a show earlier this month in South Dakota.

Tyler, who broke his shoulder and required several stitches in his head after the fall, has been advised by his doctors to take time off to properly heal.

Guitarist Joe Perry said via the band's website, "Words can't express the sadness I feel for having to cancel this tour. I would like to thank our loyal fans for sticking by us through thick and thin and all the good energy they are sending our way. We hope we can get the Aerosmith machine up and running again as soon as possible. I sure am going to miss playing with ZZ Top just as I'm sure the fans are going to miss seeing them playing with us as well. Hope to see you sooner than later."

I guess when you're over sixty, falling off a stage is an occupational hazard. We just hope Tyler's back to rockin' the stage and not rockin' in a chair soon!
