Aerosmith have confirmed they will be performing on the season finale of American Idol.
The group will be playing their new single, "Legendary Child," Joe Perry told Rolling Stone. This track will serve as the lead single for their new album and is also their contribution to the G.I. Joe: Retaliation soundtrack.
Joe Perry says the new album is nearing completion: "It's really close. We've started to mix. We've mixed a couple of the songs already, but I guess this week we're really kind of rolling into mix mode. We have a couple of tracks left to finish up, just to put some overdubs on, but we're kind of going from the final, final recording tracks to mixing this week."
Aerosmith's new album is due in the fall after their summer tour with Cheap Trick, which kicks off June 16 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
