As the Black Crowes' Happiness Bastards tour winds its way through Europe, fans in London were treated to something special this evening (May 15).

After playing a 16-song set at the 3500-capacity Eventim Apollo in West London, the band returned to the stage with a special guest in tow: Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, who led the Robinson Brothers & Co. through a lively version of Aerosmith's 1973 classic Mama Kin.

“If it is alright with y'all, we wanna play one more song," said frontman Chris Robinson. "We wanna dedicate it to somebody who is a dear friend, and a hero, and a legend, Mr. Steven Tyler. We will be touring with Aerosmith soon, so we wanna play one of his songs. Thank y’all! We’ll see you when we see you!”

The show marks Tyler's first appearance in London since , which took place at the London Palladium just weeks before lockdown was enforced in 2020.

The appearance also confirms his return to live action after the throat injury that caused the postponement of Aerosmith's Peace Out North American tour. The tour will now commence in September (full dates below) with the Black Crowes in support, where fans will be hoping for further cameo appearances.

The remaining UK dates on the Black Crowes' tour are in Newcastle on May 17 and Wolverhampton the following night, before the band cross the channel for mainland European shows. Full dates below.

Jimmy Page, who was at the show and was rumoured to be making a guest appearance with the Black Crowes, watched from the side of the stage as Tyler joined the party. Following the show, the band released an official picture of the Robinson Brothers with Tyler and Page, and an official clip of Mamma Kin.
