According to the ladies at the Boston Herald Inside Track, Steven Tyler’s Aerosmith bandmates are just saying NO to the American Idol finale:
Aerosmith, fronted by new “American Idol” judge Steven Tyler, told the show’s producers last night to Dream On — the Bad Boys of Boston refuse to reunite onstage during the May 26 finale of the uber-popular Fox TV singing contest.
Sources close to the band told the Track that the four other members of Aerosmith weren’t interested in playing the gig despite Tyler’s repeated pronouncements that the rockers would perform at the crowning of this season’s “American Idol.”
While no official reason was given for taking a pass on the highly rated national TV gig, sources said Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer and Brad Whitford would rather appear on “Idol” when the band has something to promote like an upcoming tour or a new album.
What? The band would pass up the chance to boost the sales of their catalog? I’m not sure I believe this. Unless the band isn’t getting along at the moment…
Also, it was previously reported that Stevie Nicks would appear on American Idol? That ain’t happening either, according to ABC News Radio. She will, however, be appearing on Dancing With This Stars this Tuesday.
