Aerosmith has settled a lawsuit by agreeing to play a free show.
Rock icons Aerosmith have agreed to settle a lawsuit by putting on a free concert.
The band, fronted by Steven Tyler, will play to the 8,300 people who missed them when they pulled out of a sold-out show in 2007.
A class-action lawsuit filed by fans claimed that they were left out of pocket by between $500,000 (£340,000) and $5 million in travel fees, handling charges and other expenses when Aerosmith pulled out their gig in Maui.
The fans claimed the group dropped their concert to play a bigger show in Chicago and a private event for car dealers in Oahu.
Brandee Faria, an attorney representing the disappointed audience, commented: "Everyone who bought a ticket to the original concert will receive a free ticket, and all out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed regardless of the amount."
Aerosmith lawyer Jay Handlin added that the band is happy the lawsuit has been resolved in a way which reconnects the people of Hawaii with their music.
In other news, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry told VH1 Classic Radio that the band is considering playing one of their classic albums in its entirety when they take to the road for a tour with ZZ Top.
