Keystone Entertainment Group has announced the cancellation of the Western Canada portion of the Aerosmith/ZZ Top tour following an injury to singer Steven Tyler.

Brad Walker of Bottom Line Productions told Straight.com that the Vancouver show, which was scheduled tomorrow night (August 15) at GM Place, was not sold out. He couldn't say how many tickets were still available.

In-person point-of-purchase refunds will begin on Tuesday (August 18) at 10 a.m. Those who ordered their tickets by phone or over the Internet will automatically receive a credit back to the original method of payment, and are not required to take any action.

Shows will not be rescheduled in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, and Calgary.

Tyler, Aerosmith's lead singer, fell on August 5 from a stage in South Dakota, suffering a broken shoulder and stitches to his head.
