According to ultimateclassicrock.com, Joe Perry was set to tour with Aerosmith for the first time in more than two years, however, Steven Tyler heading to rehab would change all of that. When the guitar player found out he had free time he decided to accept offers for solo shows. Normally you have to rehearse ahead of time, however, since he was already primed they were able to accept the offers for solo shows. Meaning that the Joe Perry Project will reconvene for U.S. dates, with Gary Cherone from Extreme handling the vocals, Joe Pet on the drums, bassist Chris Wyse, and keyboardist Buck Johnson. Perry is quoted in saying that, “I wish we had time for more, but it won’t be long before we’re back in New England rehearsing for the next Vegas [residency],” The residency will resume on September 14th when Aerosmith will once again take the stage in Las Vegas.
