Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton has revealed that he's been fighting throat cancer. Hamilton just completed a seven-week course of radiation treatment, according to Reuters, and he is expected to rejoin his bandmates on their tour with Motley Crue by mid-October. In the meantime, his place in the rhythm section will be taken by David Hull, who played with guitarist Joe Perry in his 1970s solo band The Joe Perry Project. Aerosmith's Route of All Evil tour with the Crue begins September 5 in Columbus, OH.
In lighter news, the band plans to include two new songs on an upcoming greatest hits CD that's due in October. "We were working on getting a studio record out, but we just couldn't do it. There wasn't enough time," Perry told Billboard.com. Therefore, the best-of set, Devil's Got a New Disguise, will have to tide over fans. It will contain 16 songs, and the two new ones will be the title track and "Sedona Sunrise." The rest of the set will be a pared down single-disc version of 2002's two-CD set O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits, containing single mixes of 14 favorites from the band's tenures with Columbia and Geffen.
Perry also told Billboard that Aerosmith plans to resume working on the new album in February. The group has been spending a lot of time mining its vaults for old songs and ideas, most of which he says "sounded like just old-fashioned Aerosmith songs" but "weren't perceived as being right for that time."
