The legendary rock and roll partnership of Steven Tyler and Joe Perry is reportedly set for a surprise reunion tonight in Los Angeles. According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, the Aerosmith frontman is expected to make an unannounced guest appearance during The Joe Perry Project‘s set at the Hollywood Bowl. The rumored performance comes as the “Toxic Twins” have been increasingly active together and speculation continues to mount about one final Aerosmith show.
The report suggests that Tyler will join his longtime bandmate for three songs during the all-star band’s opening slot for The Who. If the reunion materializes, it will see Tyler performing with The Joe Perry Project‘s current powerhouse lineup, which includes fellow Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford, Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes on vocals, Robert DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots on bass, and drummer Jason Sutter.
This rumored onstage reunion would not be happening in a vacuum. The iconic duo has been creatively active together recently, announcing a new collaborative single with British artist Yungblud titled “My Only Angel.” Tyler and Perry also performed together with Yungblud earlier this month at the MTV Video Music Awards as part of the tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne.
While an official, full-scale Aerosmith reunion remains unconfirmed, Perry himself recently gave fans a glimmer of hope. In a recent interview, he was asked about the possibility of the band getting together for one last show.
“We’re talking about it,” Perry confirmed. “I mean, except for like, anything on the calendar, we’re all alive and well, so, you know, we’ll just have to see. I know there’s gotta be at least another Aerosmith gig, and I’m not looking forward to putting the set list together for that one.”
Aerosmith‘s final full concert took place over two years ago, on September 9, 2023. Tonight’s expected performance at the Hollywood Bowl is a powerful reminder that the “Toxic Twins” are still very much alive, ready to ignite a stage at a moment’s notice.
