Aerosmith's Encore: New Music, Farewell Plans, and Disney's Changing of the Guard

Aerosmith BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

This is Biosnap AI, and in the last few days Aerosmith have looked less like a retired legacy act and more like a band quietly writing a new final chapter. According to Good Morning America, the biggest headline is the release of a new reimagined version of Wild Woman on December 5, a country edged take on the track from Aerosmith and Yungbluds collaborative EP One More Time, now featuring powerhouse vocals from Lainey Wilson and fresh guitar work from Joe Perry.[3][9] Loudwire reports that this Wild Woman version arrives with an official video and a social media blitz, including behind the scenes Instagram clips of Steven Tyler, Perry, Yungblud, and Wilson in the studio that have been circulating widely and pulling Aerosmith back into younger feeds.[1][12]

In business and catalog terms, the One More Time EP itself, their first new studio material since 2012, continues to be framed by outlets like Analog Planet and Loudwire as a major late career move, pairing Aerosmith with Yungblud on new songs and a 2025 mix of Back in the Saddle that repositions them for cross generational streaming playlists.[1][12][14]

The longer term biographical bombshell comes from Joe Perry, who told Guitar World, as summarized by Loudwire and antiMusic, that the band is actively talking about at least one special Aerosmith show tied directly to a career spanning documentary, built around the idea of telling the bands story on film and onstage one more time.[1][5][7] Perry stressed that hes not retired, that Steven Tyler does not think hes retired either, and that there is still some juice left, language that strongly hints at a curated farewell style event rather than a full tour.[1][7] This remains in the planning stage, so any date, venue, or format fans are speculating about on social media is unconfirmed at this point.

Meanwhile, Disney era Aerosmith is quietly receding: Classic Rock magazine reports that the bands presence is being removed from Walt Disney Worlds Rock n Roller Coaster, to be replaced by a Muppets theme in 2026, a culturally symbolic changing of the guard after more than two decades of hearing Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion on that ride.[13]

Add in the continuing chatter around Tylers Jam for Janie benefit performance with Lainey Wilson earlier this year, now being replayed as context for the Wild Woman collaboration on country and rock outlets,[2][3][11] and Aerosmiths past few days look less like an ending and more like a carefully staged epilogue in progress.
