Could this be a temporary fall-out? ....very hard starting out again at 61...with 40 years behind them. Either way it is sad news. Seems that falling off the stage was the catalyst for this....wonder what the circumstances were surrounding that then?

“Singer Steven Tyler 'quits' the band.” :-O
I read else ware that Joe stated he and Steve haven’t written a tune tighter in about a decade. Joe didn’t seem all that surprised by Steve’s announcement. Guess Steve has been snarky for a bit and even has had his back-stage quarters removed from the area where the band is generally staying. Hummm...I should find that article.
As for Steve’s take on the fall:
Steven Tyler says that in thousands of concerts he's only fallen off the stage four times – but this last one was worthy of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
"I landed upside down, and after twenty stitches on the back of my head, and a broken left shoulder, I just want to say that I'm plain grateful that I didn't break my neck!" the 61-year-old Aerosmith lead singer said Thursday in his first comments since last week's accident that left him with a broken left shoulder and 20 stitches on the back of his head.
Tyler said everything seemed to be going perfectly at the Aug. 5 show in Sturgis, S.D., where after a storm caused a one-hour delay, "Tens of thousands of my biker buddies were ready to rock!" He called it "one of the best shows we've played in a long time! The band was slammin' and I was lovin' every minute of it!"
The first trouble came when the fuses on the equipment blew and the sound went down in the middle of the song "Love In an Elevator." "Well, I wasn't gonna go hide under the big top and play 'ROCK STAR' and wait for everything to be fixed," he said in his statement. "I wanted to go out to the crowd to continue the show ... so, the Train Kept A-Rollin' and I ran out on the cat walk and grabbed my mic to finish the song."
That's when things got out of hand. "I was doing the Tyler shuffle and then I zigged when I should have zagged ... AND I slipped, and as I live on the edge ... I fell off the edge!" he said, expressing relief that he survived the ordeal.
Tyler thanked fans "for your love and support" and paid tribute to the band's crew and the venue's staff "for taking care of me in a time of need," as well as the police department and the helicopter crew "for getting me outta there before I bled to death."
He also thanked "all the doctors and nurses at the Rapid City Hospital for putting my Humpty Dumpty ass back together again."
"And most of all ... I want to thank the angel on my shoulder," he said. "Looking forward to seeing all of you very soon."

I think if it was a plain accident, canceling the tour is justified. However, judging from his fellow band members reaction, you could be lead to believe that drink/drugs were involved....or maybe I am reading too much into that?

STEVEN TYLER: I Am Not Leaving AEROSMITH!
AEROSMITH singer Steven Tyler joined THE JOE PERRY PROJECT (the band led by AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry) on stage earlier tonight (Tuesday, November 10) at the Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza in New York City to perform the AEROSMITH classic "Walk This Way". According to a BLABBERMOUTH.NET source a the concert, Tyler assured the crowd that — despite rumors to the contrary — he is "not leaving AEROSMITH," before launching into the track, which was originally released as the second single from the band's 1975 album "Toys in the Attic". (Watch fan-filmed video footage and listen to audio of Tyler's announcement/appearance below.)
Steven Tyler: "I am not leaving AEROSMITH." (Click on player below to launch audio.)
OK! magazine reports that Tyler also appeared at last night's (Monday, November 9) 2009 Glamour Women of the Year Awards at Carnegie Hall in New York and was asked about whether he is leaving AEROSMITH. "Does it look like I'm leaving AEROSMITH?" he reportedly replied. "You know what it is — it's those people who are putting out Joe's album. Joe's doing a solo album. So people are paying attention to that."
Perry told the Las Vegas Sun on Friday (November 6) that Tyler has quit the band he co-founded nearly 40 years ago, following a recent concert in Abu Dhabi. Perry revealed to the newspaper, "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."
Tyler told Classic Rock magazine following the Middle East concert that he intended to work on "Brand Tyler" instead of a new AEROSMITH record for the foreseeable future, saying, "I don't know what I'm doing yet, but it's definitely going to be something Steven Tyler: working on the brand of myself — Brand Tyler."
Perry told the Sun that Tyler "has had no contact" with him or the other band members. Classic Rock reported that Tyler's dressing room at the Abu Dhabi gig was distant from the others, and that he did not interact with the rest of the group until they got onstage.
Perry said that he would like AEROSMITH to continue, but admitted that he's not entirely sure how to proceed. He explained, "As far as replacing Steve, it's not just about that, it's also four guys that play extremely well together, and I'm not going to see that go to waste. I really don't know what path it's going to take at this point, but we'll probably find somebody else that will sing in those spots where we need a singer and then we'll be able to . . . move the vibe up a notch."
Things have been tense in the AEROSMITH camp since early August, when a fall from a stage in South Dakota broke Tyler's shoulder and ended the band's summer tour. In the months since, internal strife has come to the surface, forcing AEROSMITH to consider two options: going on hiatus or getting a new vocalist.
Perry told the Sun that he believed Tyler had been planning to leave for a while, saying, "Obviously he hasn't been giving 100 percent to this thing for a long time . . . To disregard his brothers to the point where we have to find out about it on the Internet — it's like, 'See you later, Bud.' I still care for him as a person, or at least the person I used to know. But things change."

Huh, so it starts off with Tyler’s audio saying he isn’t going anyway, but the rest of the story goes deeper into the ”strife” within the band as of late. I wonder what is real here.

Wow! Another twist in the tale...
Official: Steven Tyler Tried Out For Led Zeppelin
It’s true – Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler auditioned to replace Robert Plant in Led Zeppelin.
It was early in the summer of 2008 that a rumour began circulating about Tyler trying out for Zeppelin – six months after the band’s reunion gig with Robert Plant on vocals at London’s O2 Arena.
…And it’s a rumour that Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry now confirms.
Perry tells Classic Rock:
“Steven disappeared and I called around. Somebody said that he was in London trying out for Led Zeppelin.
“It’s something I’ve never talked about before outside of the [Aerosmith] family, so to speak, and kept out of the press.
“It’s a kind of window into how hard it’s been to keep the partnership together.
“It’s certainly not the first time things like that have happened – that’s the downside of our relationship.”
The audition came about through Henry Smith, a childhood friend of Tyler’s who’d worked with Zeppelin.
In fact, Tyler invited Smith to accompany him to the Classic Rock Roll Of Honour in 2007, where the pair sat at a table with Zep guitarist Jimmy Page.
From various reports it transpires that Tyler came to the Zeppelin rehearsals unprepared, and under the impression that he would be writing new material with the band.
This resulted in some shambolic sessions, some embarrassing, awkward moments – and the Plant-shaped lead singer post still vacant.
Perry caught up with Page at last November’s Classic Rock awards where the Zep six-stringer filled him in on what exactly happened during Tyler’s try-out.
Perry says: “Page said he felt really awkward about the audition, but ultimately it was a group decision.”
Tyler returned to the States believing that Aerosmith were oblivious to his Zep escapade, and things carried on as normal until the singer took his infamous tumble from the stage at an Aerosmith gig in Dakota.
It ultimately dawned on Perry that Tyler was working to a different agenda, leading to his decision to try and look for a new Aerosmith frontman.
* The March issue of Classic Rock, which goes on sale tomorrow, February 3, features Joe Perry on the front cover and contains more exclusive Aero-revelations.
Estranged Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler may resort to the courtroom to prevent the band appointing a new singer – read the full story here.
Last week Classic Rock was first with the news about guitarist Joe Perry’s quest for a new Aerosmith singer.
Could it be Paul Rodgers?
Billy Idol??
Chris Cornell???
