In March, Joey shared that he would not be joining Aerosmith on their Las Vegas Residency, citing family reasons for his "temporary leave of absence."

"He has regrettably made the decision to sit out the band's concerts in 2022 so he can focus his full attention on his family during these uncertain times," the group shared in a statement to USA today.  "He and the band look forward to his future performances with Aerosmith."

"We are truly sorry to inform our fans and friends that we must cancel our first set of Las Vegas Residency dates this June and July while he focuses on his well-being," the band said.
