AEROSMITH - AEROSMITH HINT THE END IS NEAR

Busy rockers AEROSMITH have hinted their touring days may soon be over, after recognising that they're not going to "live forever".

The I DON'T WANT TO MISS A THING hitmakers admit their hectic schedule, which included a US tour with LENNY KRAVITZ at the end of last year (05), is becoming increasingly hard to sustain and they are looking at life beyond music.

Guitarist JOE PERRY says, "We're definitely closer to the end than to the beginning, and the number of times that we are going to play is a finite number.

"When you're young or even middle-aged, you figure that you're going to live forever and you don't care. But it's different when you get to the end of it.

"First of all it's pretty strange to have a rock band when you're this age, and even stranger to have one with this much energy.

"You can go out there and walk through this stuff, but we always try to keep the edge."
