In a new interview with AARP, Hamilton was asked to rate on a scale of one to 10 the likelihood of whether Aerosmith will do anything in the future, and he didn't rule it out.

As for what the future holds for Aerosmith, Hamilton doesn't seem to know. While he says there's hope Tyler recovers completely, he insists they won't be touring. But he notes "there are a lot of other ways to be and do Aerosmith."
