Hamilton tweeted, “The only thing thats kinda cool about this pneumonia thing, is all the sweet sweet luv Im gettin from the 4 corners of the globe!”.

Hamilton flew to Australia and played on the first Aerosmith show in Sydney on April 20 and also the next in New Zealand but fell ill with pneumonia just prior to the Melbourne show last weekend.

He returned back to the USA and in his place bass player David Hull was flown in to continue the tour.

Hull is a seasoned veteran having played with Aerosmith before when Hamilton was sidelined. He is also a member of Joe Perry’s Joe Perry Project and when he is not playing Aerosmith or Perry bass-lines writes the soundtrack music for the TV show NCIS.

David Hull will perform with Aerosmith tomorrow night for their final Australian show in Melbourne at Rod Laver Arena.

David Gilmour Discusses Rumours of Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz

The fusion of Pink Floyd's iconic album "Dark Side of the Moon" with the classic film "The Wizard of Oz" is a legend that has intrigued fans and audiophiles for decades. This synchronization, often referred to as "The Dark Side of the Rainbow," suggests that the album, when played in conjunction with the film, produces uncanny coincidences that seem too deliberate to be mere chance. Recently, David Gilmour, the legendary guitarist of Pink Floyd, addressed these longstanding rumours in an interview, shedding light on the band's perspective.
