Singer Steven Tyler quits `Aerosmith`, hints guitarist Joe Perry



London: Singer Steven Tyler has quit band Aerosmith, if Joe Perry, the band`s guitarist is to be believed.

The news comes months after Tyler dismissed reports that the band was on the verge of splitting following a year of cancelled tour dates, injuries and accidents.

Perry has now revealed that his friend has left the rock group after its performance at Formula One racing season`s final weekend in Abu Dhabi last weekend, reports contactmusic.com.

"Steven quit as far as I can tell. I don`t know any more than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don`t know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don`t know," Perry said.

The guitarist feels Tyler`s lack of communication with other band members has led to this state.

"He`s notorious for that (not picking phone calls). That`s one thing I`ve learned to live with. I try to overlook it. I like to pick my battles..."

According to Perry, the singer has not yet contacted any member of the band.
