Aerosmith to Play Grammy's without Joey Kramer, Judge Denies Request
-- We've obtained video from over the weekend showing Joey arrive at an Aerosmith Grammy rehearsal in L.A. only to be turned away by two security guards. The guards make it clear, they were given the orders to refuse Joey's entry by the other 4 members of the band.
Joey tells TMZ,"The band waited until January 15th to tell me that they weren’t letting me play at the awards ceremonies this week. I can hold my head high knowing that I did the right thing – to fight for my right to celebrate the band’s success that I have dedicated the better part of my life to helping build."
The judge said Joey didn't make a convincing enough case for playing with bandmates when they take the stage for Sunday's award show, and also for Saturday night's MusiCares gala. Our Aerosmith sources said the band denied Kramer from rejoining because his performance was not on par. What's more ... our sources said the group actively tried for months to get Joey back but he just couldn't get it together in time and left the band with no other choice but to replace him.
