Whether it’s Billy Idol, Chris Cornell, or a complete unknown, if anyone tries to take over for Steven Tyler in Aerosmith, Tyler just might take the band to court. In a recent letter, Tyler’s attorney calls on the band’s management to "immediately cease and desist" the rumored search for a new frontman and reiterates that Tyler intends to continue in his iconic role with the band—which plans to record a new album and tour later this year—after completing therapy for painkiller addiction.

Can't say I blame him. Who would want to see Aerosmith without him as the front man anyway?

Steven Tyler's got nothing to worry about. He could put out a solo album and it would probably sell.

Aerosmith with another lead singer though? Good luck.

It's like seeing Journey without Steve Perry, or Guns & Roses without Axel Rose or Bon Jovi without John ....just doesn't make since.

Aerosmith without Tyler or Joe Perry wouldn't be Aerosmith IMO.

Aerosmith hasn't been good since the 70's. Getting a new singer might be just what they need.

Nope.

Aerosmith = Stephen Tyler (and some Joe Perry).

I agree with the majority here...Aerosmith without Steve Tyler wouldn't be a big draw.

Maybe his bandmembers are fed up with dealing his addictions.

What was the rest of Aerosmith supposed to do if Tyler left the band?
Tyler thought it was okay to try out for Led Zeppelin (they passed on him.)

Regardless, I like a couple of their old songs, but I'm not too excited about Aerosmith with or without Tyler.

Then maybe they need to form another band. And not be Aerosmith. Aerosmith is Steve & Joe without that it's not Aerosmith. Same with Journey, they are not Journey now with this new guy. I know Journey had a couple of lead signers over time but when it fits, it just clicks. Same with AC/DC, when one passed on, one clicked and owned it. Steve would be very hard to replace, so why not form another band all together?
