With a seemingly never-ending succession of conflicting rumours surrounding the band, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry has again moved to reassure fans the future of the veteran rock band is secure.
Since the announcement of frontman Steven Tyler‘s decision to accept the position as judge on the season of American Idol, Aerosmith’s plans to record a new album have been called into question.
However, in a series of responses to his followers on Twitter, Perry has echoed comments made by Tyler last month, and will meet in the Spring to resume recording sessions.
“I had previous plans could not get out of,” he wrote on Twitter, before adding:
“I am in Aerosmith. I am not going anywhere. The band isn’t writing anymore. It was only for eight days.”
“Aerosmith and I will be writing in the spring. The guys only got together for eight days.”
“There’s nothing to make up. We are brothers we have been texting back and forth since the tour ended. It’s a bunch of B.S.”
“It was only an eight-day writing session that got blown outta proportion. We are looking forward to the next CD.”
“Steven and I text all of the time. He’s my brother in arms, just like Brad, Joey and Tom. Everything else is a rumour.”
“Don’t worry bout a thing. AEROSMITH lives on I am in it. It’s my band. Tom and I formed it in 1969. It’s the five of us.”
The new season of American Idol kicked off in the US on January 19th.
