The group were due to play their first ever concert in the country at the Solid Fest in Caracas on February 1.

Singer Steven Tyler said in a statement: “Playing Venezuela was my idea of a perfect way to start the New Year.

“But having heard Joe had to revisit the hospital this month, the band are truly disappointed we can’t be in Caracas and we hope to see everyone there soon.”
