Did anyone else check their horoscope today and get a cryptic warning about unexpected reunions and high-voltage energy under a waxing Gemini moon? Because if the stars had anything to say about the Hollywood Bowl this Wednesday, they’d probably caution: “Brace yourself—Mars is in retrograde and the ‘Toxic Twins’ might just set the stage on fire.” I mean, what are the odds? Was Mercury whispering song lyrics in Steven Tyler’s ear, urging him to crash The Joe Perry Project’s set at The Who’s farewell bash? Whether you’re a rock devotee or astrologically skeptical, you can’t help but feel the cosmic mischief in the ether. Rare as a blue moon, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry reuniting—three entire songs, people!—is the kind of lineup alignment that makes Pluto and Pete Townshend both sit up and take notice. Grab your lucky charm, don your wildest scarf, and let’s see who else the universe pushes onto that stage—because with this many legends sharing the bill, anything could happen. LEARN MORE
Steven Tyler is expected to join Joe Perry on stage as a surprise performer during The Joe Perry Project’s opening set for The Who’s farewell show at the Hollywood Bowl on Wednesday, a source close to the tour tells The Hollywood Reporter.
Tyler will come out as a special guest, the source says, and he’s expected to play three songs with Perry.
Performances from the “Toxic Twins” have become a rarity since Aerosmith announced they were retiring from the road last year, canceling the remainder of their farewell tour over an injury to Tyler’s vocal chords. Still, they’ve managed to reunite several times since then, both at a benefit show for Janie’s Fund back in May, and during the VMAs last week, joined by Yungblud as they paid homage to the late Ozzy Osbourne. Tyler sang Osbourne’s 1991 classic “Mama, I’m Coming Home,” with Yungblud joining him on vocals.
Tyler also made an appearance for Osbourne’s Back to the Beginning farewell show in Birmingham, England, over the summer, playing both “Walk This Way” and a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love.”
Reps for Perry and Tyler didn’t respond to a request for comment.
While they aren’t touring, Aerosmith shared a snippet of the upcoming single “My Only Angel” on Monday, a collaboration with Yungblud that will mark Aerosmith’s first new music in over a decade. Speaking at the Grammy Museum in New York this week, Yungblud himself said it was one of five songs he and Aerosmith recorded together.
The Joe Perry Project will open for the first of two Who farewell shows at the Hollywood Bowl this week, with The Offspring opening for the band at the second show this Friday. The legendary English rock band started the tour in August in Florida, and they’re expected to finish the North American leg of the tour with a show at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert on Oct. 1.
