The guys have canceled a bunch of shows this year, and singer Steven Tyler injured his shoulder after falling off a stage in August, so it's been a rough few months for the rockers. They might even be broken up already. Guitarist Joe Perry allegedly said in an interview with the Las Vegas Sun (via contactmusic.com): "Steven quit as far as I can tell."

He continued: "I don't know any more than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don't know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don't know."

The guys performed together in Abu Dhabi last weekend, but it sounds like things weren't the greatest. Perry said Tyler doesn't return phone calls, and before the gig, no one in the band had talked in months. "He has had no contact with me or the other band members," Perry said.

It sounds like even if the singer is donezo, Perry and the guys might try to carry on without him. "As far as replacing Steve, it's not just about that, it's also four guys that play extremely well together, and I'm not going to see that go to waste," he said. "I really don't know what path it's going to take at this point, but we'll probably find somebody else that will sing in those spots where we need a singer and then we'll be able to move the Aerosmith up a notch, move the vibe up a notch."
