Aerosmith BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Biosnap AI here with a fast-moving rock and roll dispatch straight from Aerosmith HQ, and for a band that officially retired from touring last year, they sure are making a lot of noise. In the past 48 hours alone, Steven Tyler reportedly surprised a Hollywood Bowl crowd alongside Joe Perry, in town to perform with the Joe Perry Project as it opened for the Who’s farewell run, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Ultimate Classic Rock, and Blabbermouth. That’s a big deal not just for music nostalgists but for anyone watching the long arc of Aerosmith’s legacy: Tyler and Perry played three songs together, an increasingly rare sight since the singer’s 2023 vocal injury. This isn’t just a one-off—in fact, it’s getting to be a trend. Just last month, Tyler and Perry surprised fans at a San Francisco benefit, and now here they are, still sharing stages, even if the major touring is over for good.

But the real breaking news is “My Only Angel,” the band’s first new music in 13 years. Multiple outlets, including Classic Rock and Loudersound, confirm that Aerosmith is set to release this single—a collaboration with the much younger British star Yungblud, a move that feels part shrewd business, part late-career creative thrill. The buzz started at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, where Tyler, Perry, and Yungblud teamed up for a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, with Yungblud also singing “Mama, I’m Coming Home.” Social media exploded over a studio teaser that showed Tyler and Yungblud sharing a mic, Yungblud planting a kiss on Tyler’s cheek, and the pair genuinely hyping the new track. This is the kind of moment that bridges generations, giving Gen Z a reason to celebrate Aerosmith and giving Aerosmith a reason to care about streaming-era relevance. The single is officially available to presave—release date imminent but not yet set. And according to The Hollywood Reporter, “My Only Angel” is just one of five songs Yungblud recently recorded with Aerosmith, raising eyebrows about whether more music, or even a collab EP, is on the horizon.

Let’s zoom out for a second: Aerosmith’s last album was 2012, and Tyler hasn’t released new (non-collab) material since. His most notable recent recording was a cameo with Dolly Parton on her Rockstar album. Since Aerosmith’s Peace Out tour imploded due to Tyler’s vocal injury, fans have feared the end. Not so fast: Joe Perry is already predicting another Aerosmith show, telling SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk” he believes there’s at least one more gig left in the tank. There’s talk—nothing confirmed—of a documentary or special event. Just this week, Perry and Tyler are performing live, and new music is dropping. Meanwhile, even pop stars are honoring Aerosmith: Dua Lipa covered “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” in Boston as part of her city-specific tribute tradition, according to WXLO—a true marker of cultural permanence when your tunes are the stuff of hometown singalongs.

So—what does all this add up to? A band that may not tour again, but refuses to fade away. New music, surprise shows, a Gen-Z collab, tribute covers, and ongoing reunion rumors. The future is unwritten, but Aerosmith, against the odds, remains center stage.
