While the title of their 2017 tour, 'Aero-Vederci Baby!,' might suggest that Aerosmith are hanging up their instruments for good, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry remain coy.

"We were just wringing our hands trying to figure something out, and we said 'Let's get road manager Tommy Higgins up here,'" Perry says.

"He came up to the room and we said what we were looking for, and he said 'How about Aero-Vederci?'

We both looked at each other and said, 'Okay. Let's try that on for size. And you know what? Let's see what it looks like on the back of a bathrobe.'"

"We're always thinking about what to do for a tour," adds Tyler.

"And so many bands have said 'This is our last tour' to generate tickets and all that stuff bands that have been around as long as we have.

So we figured, you know, we're going to Europe, we're gonna do whatever we're doing here, and Rock in Rio, and people haven't seen us for a while, so how about throwing that kind of mysticism out?

And 'Aero-Vederci' says it, but it doesn't say it. It's like 'hello goodbye' in one beautiful where Joe and I came from Italian saying."
