Reps For AEROSMITH And Rolling Stone Call Break-Up Report An 'Error'

June 4, 2007

Mark Shanahan of The Boston Globe reports: For the second time in less than a week, AEROSMITH's reps are denying a report that the Boston band is no more.

This morning, RollingStone.com posted a picture of singer Steven Tyler at an airport in India with the following caption: "Steven Tyler touches down at the Bangalore airport only to announce that AEROSMITH has broken up." But it's just not true, according to Mitch Schneider, the band's publicist, who called the cutline "an error."

Indeed, Rolling Stone publicist Beth Jacobson insisted that an intern wrote the caption and was just joking, apparently playing off an item in the New York Post last week. In that item, the Post reported that Tyler's daughter Liv had told friends that her father is unhappy with his bandmates and is planning to quit the band.

The erroneous RollingStone.com caption was quickly taken down from the site after Boston Globe reporters began calling and asking for further details.
