We are bonded together by much more than our time on stage.” What was the result?Ī judge has sided with Aerosmith in the battle.Īccording to TMZ, the judge explained: "Given that Kramer has not played with the band in six months and the dearth of available rehearsal time before the upcoming performances, Kramer has not shown a realistic alternative course of action sufficient to protect the band's business interests." Given his decisions he is unfortunately unable to perform but of course we have invited him to be with us for both the Grammys and our MusiCares honor. Compounding this, he chose to file a lawsuit on the Friday night of the holiday weekend preceding the Grammys with total disregard for what is our limited window to prepare to perform these important events. We would be doing a disservice to him, to ourselves and to our fans to have him play without adequate time to prepare and rehearse. The statement continues: “Joey has now waited until the last moment to accept our invitation, when we unfortunately have no time for necessary rehearsals during Grammys week. We have missed him and have encouraged him to rejoin us to play many times but apparently he has not felt ready to do so.” However he has not been emotionally and physically able to perform with the band, by his own admission, for the last 6 months.

Read the full statement here: “Joey Kramer is our brother his wellbeing is of paramount importance to us. Steve Tyler and co responded to the suit, releasing a statement to People magazine, in which they call Kramer their "brother" and claim he is not "emotionally and physically" fit to perform with the band. Kramer added: "I hope our fans can understand that all I’m trying to do is get back to playing with the band that they love – and that’s Aerosmith with all five original members," he added. "The greatest magic and success of Aerosmith happens when all the band’s founding members are together in the house." What did Aerosmith say?
"I did everything they asked – jumped through hoops and made both a recording of playing along solo to a recent live recording of the band – one I had never heard before, and that process was videotaped. Nothing could be further from the truth," Kramer said. "Other band members and their lawyers will likely … claim that I am unable to play the drums right now. I am being deprived of the opportunity to be recognized along with my peers, for our collective, lifetime contributions to the music industry.
The drummer continued: "This is not about money.
