Aerosmith is one of the best things to come out of Boston, and soon it will exist only in memories and playbacks like Tom Brady, "Cheers" and Larry Bird.

The quintet has given the world 50 years of classic rock and some of the most enduring songs of all time, including "Dream On," "Walk This Way" and "Sweet Emotion."

Aerosmith will be touring a city near you for the last time to celebrate the rock band's 50-plus years together.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band announced on May 1 the dates for their farewell tour called "Peace Out" starting Sept. 2 in Philadelphia. The 40-date run of shows, which includes a stop in the band's hometown of Boston on New Year's Eve, will end Jan. 26 in Montreal.
