Aerosmith's Joey Kramer Joins Band to Accept Award After Being Blocked from Performing

Aerosmith‘s Steven Tyler and Joey Kramer pose with their awards at the 2020 MusiCares Person of the Year held at Los Angeles Convention Center on Friday night (January 24) in Los Angeles.

Joining them were bandmates Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, and Tom Hamilton.

Aerosmith was honored with the Person of the Year Award at this year’s MusiCares Gala during Grammys weekend. The band blocked Joey from performing with them at the event due to a temporary disability that would reportedly not allow him to perform at an “appropriate level.” He then sued the band for breach of contract, but the judge turned down his request to perform at the event.

Joey was allowed to attend as a guest and honoree, but left the stage after the band accepted the award.

“They are brothers. They refer to each other as brothers and they even fight like brothers,” the group’s lawyer Dina LaPolt said while introducing the band.
