"Legendary Child" is a single by American hard rock band Aerosmith that was released May 24, 2012.[1]
The song was originally written and recorded in 1991 during the initial sessions for the Get a Grip album, but was never released. However, a partial instrumental version of the song was played during the Pump Tour in 1990 as part of the "Sweet Emotion" medley with the "Peter Gunn Theme". The song was later re-worked and was included on Aerosmith's fifteenth studio album, Music from Another Dimension!, which was released on November 6, 2012. It also appeared in the film G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which was originally scheduled for theatrical release in the summer of 2012, but was released on March 28, 2013.[2]
Aerosmith debuted "Legendary Child" with a performance of the song on the season finale of the television show American Idol on May 23, 2012.[3][4] After the performance, the song was made available for digital download[1] and premiered on radio stations.[5]
After the release of the single, Aerosmith embarked on the Global Warming Tour with Cheap Trick, which took the band to two dozen North American locations from mid-June through mid-August 2012.[6][7]
