Aerosmith’s summer of bad luck began when guitarist Brad Whitford banged his head getting out of a car, forcing him to miss the opening dates of the band’s tour in June. A few weeks later, lead singer Steven Tyler hurt his leg performing at the Mohegan Sun Arena, causing seven shows to be postponed. Then bassist Tom Hamilton, who was treated for throat cancer in 2006, missed some dates because of unspecified noninvasive surgery. Finally, on Aug. 5, Tyler fell from the stage in Sturgis, S.D., breaking his shoulder and forcing the rest of the summer tour to be canceled.
