Aerosmith's Steven Tyler is sticking with the band

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler says he will not quitting the band.

In a surprise appearance with fellow band member Joe Perry at Irving Plaza Tuesday night, Steven Tyler told a concert crowd: "I am not leaving Aerosmith."

Rolling Stone and Billboard magazines report the two then launched into their song "Walk This Way."

The appearance seemed to put an end to speculation about the band's future.

Perry recently tweeted that Aerosmith was "looking for a new singer to work with" and told the Las Vegas Sun that Tyler had quit, at as far as he could tell.

The 61-year-old Tyler was injured when he fell off a stage during an Aug. 5 performance in South Dakota, and the band canceled the remainder of its summer tour.
