ATLANTA, GA — A serious vocal injury will cause legendary rock band Aerosmith to postpone the remaining "Peace Out: The Farewell Tour" concerts, including the Oct. 14 tour date at the State Farm Arena alongside The Black Crowes.

Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler is not only battling damage to his vocal cords, he is also facing a fractured larynx that needs ongoing care, the group announced Friday on Instagram.

'"I am heartbroken to not be out there with Aerosmith, my brothers and the incredible Black Crowes, rocking with the best fans in the world. I promise we will be back as soon as we can!' - Love, Steven," read the post.
