Aerosmith discredits Whitford

It did not take long for Aerosmith to scramble to attempt to squash the latest round of reports that the group might tour without Steven Tyler.  The categorical denial that there is any consideration of recruiting a replacement lead singer for a tour was posted on Aerosmith's web site in a statement that read "There is absolutely no truth to a story circulating that Aerosmith is looking for a new lead singer" and quotes Joe Perry as saying 'Any rumor out there about us looking for another singer is completely untrue. All five of us were just on the phone together talking about how excited we are to go to South America and Mexico City.'  At least one member of the band seems to like the idea of touring with someone other than Tyler out front.  Brad Whitford did an interview in which he expressed frustration over Tyler being absent due to side projects like his American Idol role and his current foray into country music.  Whitford went so far as to suggest he likes the idea of an Aerosmith tour with Myles Kennedy or Sammy Hagar in Tyler's place (story).
