NEW YORK (AP) — Aerosmith's lead guitarist Joe Perry says the legendary rock band isn't breaking up — although they need a new singer.
Perry said on the micro-blogging site Twitter late Monday Aerosmith is "not splitting up" but "looking for a new singer to work with" amid speculation about the band's future and the role of front man Steven Tyler.
Tyler has been quoted as saying he is considering a solo career.
Perry tweeted one of the band's members "is doing his own thing and said so in the press. That's all I know."
Tyler could not immediately be reached for comment.
The 61-year-old Tyler was injured when he fell off a stage during an Aug. 5 performance in South Dakota, and the band canceled the remainder of its summer tour.
