Aerosmith have shared photos from their rehearsals ahead of a pair of upcoming comeback shows at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The pics confirm that recently-estranged original drummer Joey Kramer is back in the band.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame act will play two nights at the Hollywood Bowl on October 29th and November 1st. The gigs are being billed as “California, Dream On: Aerosmith & Friends,” and feature a lineup that includes Guns N’ Roses, Sammy Hagar, Jerry Cantrell, Heart, The Black Crowes, Run-DMC, Andrew Watt, Billy Idol, Chad Smith, Duff McKagan, Eric Church, and more.
Rehearsal Photos
In a social media post, Aerosmith shared a number of pictures from their rehearsals taken by famed photographer Ross Halfin, with one depicting all five classic members of the band — Joey Kramer, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, and Tom Hamilton — with smiles on their faces.
Kramer had been estranged from Aerosmith in recent years. He originally stepped away from the band to deal with health issues, but then engaged in legal wrangling with his bandmates. Now, it appears as if there’s nothing but sweet emotion between the band members.
Return to the Stage
The shows will mark the first Aerosmith gigs since Steven Tyler’s vocal injury put an abrupt end to their farewell tour right as it began in September 2023, and the first with Kramer since February 2020.
Since the band halted its farewell tour, Tyler has performed at a few benefit gigs and awards ceremonies, as well as the “Back to the Beginning” concert, where his voice sounded very strong.
Tickets for the concerts are available via Vivid Seats (fans can save $20 off your first purchase of $200 or more by using code COS20).
In conclusion, Aerosmith is gearing up for their comeback shows at the Hollywood Bowl, with Joey Kramer back behind the drum kit. The band’s return to the stage is highly anticipated, and fans can expect an exciting performance with a star-studded lineup of guests. With Steven Tyler’s voice sounding strong and the band rehearsing together, it’s shaping up to be a memorable show.
