  • In August, multi-platinum rockers Aerosmith announced their sudden retirement, and with it, the cancellation of the remaining dates of their farewell tour
  • Frontman Steven Tyler’s best-known daughter is The Lord of the Rings actress Liv Tyler, but it was his lesser-known second daughter Mia who offered words of comfort to distraught fans

As fans around the world adjust to the fact that Aerosmith have played their last ever gig – the band unexpectedly cancelled its Peace Out tour on August 2 to retire early – lead singer Steven Tyler’s daughter has some words of sympathy.

“I don’t think this is the end. I think maybe the Aero boys are just walkin’ that way after walkin’ this way for so long,” Mia Tyler wrote on Instagram. “Change is scary. Change is hard. But sometimes we gotta let the curtain fall and the lights go dark for the next act to begin.”

In her youth, Cyrinda Foxe was an “It” girl in 1970s New York. Punk Magazine described her as “the muse of the Andy Warhol crowd and the first ‘video chick’ who starred in David Bowie’s ‘Jean Genie’”. Foxe was married to Tyler for nine years before the pair split in 1987.

Nine years later Foxe published a tell-all memoir. She also tried to sell nude photos of Tyler, per The Guardian, but was prevented by a court order in the rocker’s favour. By the time she was 50, in 2002, Foxe was dying from cancer, while Tyler covered all her medical expenses, per Fox News. She died in September of that year.
