After turmoil that included public squabbling, threats of a lineup change and a rehab stint, Aerosmith is back and ready to rock.В 

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers have announced their 'Cocked, Locked and Ready To Rock' European summer tourВ with Steven Tyler.

The band made the announcement Thursday. It also posted a video on its Web site in which Tyler, sitting with the rest of the band, jokes: "I just auditioned and I got the gig."

"We're coming your way and rocking your world! Look out because here we come," he says as he looks at guitarist Joe Perry and the group breaks out in laughter.

Aerosmith, which has been one of rock's enduring bands over the past three decades, has been in limbo since Tyler fell off a stage during an August concert in South Dakota, injuring himself and forcing the band to cancel the rest of their summer tour.

After that, Perry expressed anger that the group had been sidelined and said Tyler needed to get his act together. For his part, Tyler was quoted as saying he was interested in going solo, and soon the band was talking about replacing Perry with another singer.

Their tour starts in Sweden on June 10. with two dates on the Balkans - June 18 in Bucharest, Romania and June 20 in Athens, Greece.
