AEROSMITH: Tonight's Show In Illinois Postponed

September 10, 2007

Chicago Sun-Times reports that the AEROSMITH concert scheduled for 7:30 tonight (Monday, September 10) at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois has been postponed, according to concert organizers Live Nation. A statement late this afternoon from the promoter says simply, "Due to illness the show has been postponed. Hold on to your tickets, and listen to your radio station for further instructions."

AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry has told Billboard.com that the band plans to hit the studio on Nov. 1 to begin recording its next album.

"I'm not sure who the producer is gonna be or what (studio) we're gonna do it in," Perry said. "We may use a few different producers. I don't know. All I know is that the heart and soul of the thing is us getting in the studio and seeing what comes out."

Perry did say that the band was "excited Rick Rubin is now in the so-called captain's chair at Sony; his heart's in the right place when it comes to rock'n'roll." Rubin, according to Perry, will be involved with the album in some capacity, even if not necessarily as a hands-on producer. "It's not just about the music; it's about the feel, and he's one of the few that really gets it," Perry explains.
