According to the Toronto Sun, AEROSMITH is being sued by Keystone Entertainment Group Ltd. over the band's canceled tour of the prairies and Vancouver last August, and its refusal to schedule new dates.

AEROSMITH released its summer schedule June 1, which includes a 19-date North American tour with only one Canadian stop - Toronto on August 17

They were set to play five shows across western Canada last August.

But the Boston rockers canceled after lead singer Steve Tyler fell from the stage during a performance in Sturgis, South Dakota, on August 5, and sustained a shoulder injury.

Keystone's statement of claim filed in a Calgary court, a copy of which was obtained Wednesday by the QMI Agency, says the cancellation was a breach of AEROSMITH's contract with them.

Keystone Entertainment Group Ltd. is seeking $6 million in damages.
