AEROSMITH Sued For Cancelling Canadian Concerts







According to Torontosun.com, AEROSMITH's decision to snub Western Canada on its 2010 summer tour of North America could cost the iconic US rock band a few dollars.

Keystone Entertainment Group Ltd. is seeking $6 million in damages over the band’s cancelled tour of the prairies and Vancouver last August, and its refusal to schedule new dates.

Aerosmith released its summer schedule June 1, which includes a 19-date North American tour with only one Canadian stop – Toronto on Aug. 17.

They were set to play five shows across western Canada last August.

But the Boston rockers cancelled after lead singer Steve Tyler fell from the stage during a performance in Sturgis, South Dakota, on Aug. 5, and sustained a shoulder injury.

Keystone’s statement of claim filed in a Calgary court, a copy of which was obtained Wednesday by the QMI Agency, says the cancellation was a breach of Aerosmith’s contract with them.

“Following the breach, Keystone approached Aerosmith in September, 2009, for purposes of negotiating alternate dates for the tour,” the court document says.
