"On the advice of doctors, Steven has to sit these out," the group wrote at the time. "Stay healthy and we’ll see you in the new year!"
In May, the band announced its Las Vegas residency dates in June and July were canceled due to Tyler's relapse.
"As many of you know, our beloved brother Steven has worked on his sobriety for many years," the group wrote. "After foot surgery to prepare for the stage and the necessity of pain management during the process, he has recently relapsed and voluntarily entered a treatment program to concentrate on his health and recovery."

The lawsuit was brought against him by Julia Misley, who accused the singer-songwriter of sexual assault, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
