For now at least, Steven Tyler (inset) is still in Aerosmith. The band, which always seems to be on the verge of breaking up, is in turmoil yet again. The band has felt compelled to issue a statement saying that Tyler is not about to be replaced — despite comments by guitarist Brad Whitford suggesting otherwise. “Any rumor out there about us looking for another singer is completely untrue,’’ Tyler’s Toxic Twin, guitarist Joe Perry, said in a statement. “All five of us were just on the phone together talking about how excited we are to go to South America and Mexico City.’’ Aerosmith is supposed to tour Latin America in the fall. In an interview with Metal Rules, Whitford said the band had considered replacing Tyler in 2009 and he didn’t rule out someone else fronting the band in the future. “Absolutely, we have considered it — but whether it will happen, I don’t know. I think it would be great,’’ Whitford said. Asked who he’d like to see take Tyler’s place, Whitford mentioned Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge and Axl Rose. (The Guns N’ Roses singer is currently filling in for AC/DC’s Brian Johnson.) Formed more than four decades ago, Aerosmith seems to thrive on conflict. Perry departed the band in 1979 and Whitford left in 1981 — replaced by Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay — but the Bad Boys From Boston were back together a few years later and released the multi-platinum “Permanent Vacation’’ in 1987.
