The band hasn’t performed together since a show in Moscow on Sept. 15, 2015. Tyler has spent the past year promoting his first country album and its first single, “Red White and You.”

In the interview, the lead vocalist also discussed the current state of classic rock.

“Look, there’s two bands that still have the original members, us and the Stones,” he said. “I’m grateful for that. Whether we do a farewell tour or go into the studio and do another record, I’m just excited about it.”
