Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer takes 'temporary leave of absence,' won't perform with the band at upcoming Las Vegas residency
“However he has not been emotionally and physically able to perform with the band, by his own admission, for the last six months. 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.”prevented him from entering their rehearsal facility
before the Grammy’s. “This is not about money,” Kramer said in a statement. “I am being deprived of the opportunity to be recognized along with my peers for our collective lifetime contributions to the music industry. Neither the MusiCares’ Person of the Year Award nor the Grammys’ Lifetime Achievement honors can ever be repeated.”
In his lawsuit, Kramer alleged that the band forced him to audition for his own spot in the band. “Other band members and their lawyers will likely attempt to disparage my playing and claim that I am unable to play the drums right now,” he said. “Nothing could be further from the truth. 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.
The group somehow put all this aside just one month later and welcomed Kramer back into the fold for a couple of Las Vegas show. But then the pandemic hit and their concert calendar was cleared for the foreseeable future. It’s unclear how temporary this “temporary leave of absence” from the band will be, but the fact they are ruling him out of shows for the remainder of 2022 isn’t a very encouraging sign for the future.
