Aerosmith, the band which left an impeccable impact on American Music history received the 2020 MusiCares Person of the Year Award at the LA Convention Centre on Friday- but the fact that Kramer left the stage and did not join the rest for performance was hard to digest.
In lieu of a recent court order, Joey Kramer, a core and founding member of the Aerosmith rock band, who played in it more or less for 50 years, was restrained from taking his spotlight after the band received the award at the Grammys event.
Kramer was stripped off his right to play alongside the band at the MusiCares Gala and the Grammys on Sunday after a series of events of Kramer suing the band over a certain breach of contract for casting him out due to an injury. These orders were announced by Superior court judge Mark Gildea on Wednesday.
Entertainment lawyer Dina LaPott called out the band on stage, “They are brothers. They refer to each other as brothers and they even fight like brothers,” as was said by Dina. The whole band took to the stage. Surprisingly, only Tyler and Kramer spoke. Tyler showed his support by resting his arm on Kramer’s shoulder while giving the customary award receiving speech and said, “Remember, people only really get interesting when they start to rattle the bars on their cages. And the best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.”
After this, Joey gave a shout-out to MusiCares, fans, his wife and thanked the music industry. He then quietly left the stage which made things more awkward. The band then performed some of its hit songs like “Big Ten Inch,” “Dream On” (featuring H.E.R.) and “Sweet Emotion,”
