Aerosmith, the iconic American rock band, was formed in 1970 in Boston, Massachusetts. Known for their blues-based hard rock style, they quickly gained notoriety as "the Bad Boys from Boston" and "America's Greatest Rock and Roll Band." The band's self-titled debut album was released in 1973 and featured the hit single "Dream On." Throughout the 1970s, they released a string of successful albums, including "Toys in the Attic" (1975), "Rocks" (1976), and "Draw the Line" (1977). The band struggled with internal conflicts, substance abuse issues, and declining commercial success into the mid-1980s but saw a surge of popularity following their collaboration with Run-D.M.C. on "Walk This Way" in 1986. In the 1990s, the band released its only two number-one hit albums in the US: "Get A Grip" (1993) and "Nine Lives" (1997). On August 2, 2024, the band retired from touring due to lead singer Steven Tyler's vocal injury.
