AEROSMITH has canceled four tour dates in SOUTH AMERICA due to "unexpected medical issues" affecting singer STEVEN TYLER, reports ROLLING STONE. A Twitter post from the TYLER's account said he was "seeking immediate care and has been advised by his doctors that he cannot travel or perform at this time."

"STEVEN is expected to make a full recovery," the band said in a statement. "With proper rest and treatment he will be back on his feet soon, rocking the world."

In a message to his fans, TYLER wrote "To everybody in SOUTH AMERICA –- BRAZIL, CHILE, ARGENTINA and MEXICO -– I'm very sorry and feel like I've let you down. I won't be able to continue the last four shows of this tour. I flew back to the U.S. on doctor's orders last night after the show in SÃO PAULO.

"Please not to worry," he continued, "I am not in a life-threatening condition, but I need to deal with this right away and get some rest and medical care immediately in order to sustain and maintain my future performances. I promise I'll be back. Unfortunately, health does not wait and it's something even I can't schedule around our shows. As they say, 'We humans make plans, and God laughs.' I love you all and will be back with you soon."
