Aerosmith bassist forced to sit out

Tom HamiltonAerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton has been forced to sit out for part of the bands current tour due to recovery from non-invasive surgery. Hamilton, 57 years old and a cancer survivor, has been a part of Aerosmith since their beginning in 1970.

The tour “Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Presents Aerosmith” kicked off June 10th and has been plagued with postponed dates since Steven Tyler tore his leg muscles on June 29th during a concert.

Bassist David Hull from the Joe Perry Project will be filling in for Hamilton once Aerosmith gets back on the road today (July 15).
