Is Aerosmith Looking for New Lead Singer?

There are certain things that just shouldn’t happen. The Mona Lisa shouldn’t smile, the Leaning Tower of Pisa shouldn’t be straighten, and Aerosmith shouldn’t perform with any lead singer other than Steven Tyler, but the last one may be a distinct possibility.
