Now that Steven Tyler has finished his successful first season as a judge on American Idol, he is returning to his day job with Aerosmith.
The singer and his four bandmates plan to reunite next month with veteran producer Jack Douglas to kick-start work on their long-delayed album, guitarist Joe Perry said on Tuesday.
"Whole band has plans to go into the studio with Jack Douglas second week of July to work on new Aero CD," Perry said on Twitter.
The album will be recorded in the Massachusetts studio the band built six years ago expressly to work with Douglas, Perry said last month. The band, sans Perry, who had a prior commitment, held an eight-day writing session earlier this year.
Aerosmith have not released an album of new material since 2001's Just Push Play.
