Local fans have not seen much of Perry in recent years. In September 2020, Perry and his wife, Billie Paulette, sold their farm in Vermont. In a 2018 interview with The Patriot Ledger, Perry said he was spending a lot of time in Los Angeles, but “our hearts are here in Duxbury.”

Married since 1985, the Perrys moved to Duxbury in 1988 and the couple made an indelible mark on the community. FarFar’s ice cream shop named a flavor, AeroChip, in honor of the band. The Perrys donated $25,000 to the town for an animal shelter and made the ceremonial first dig in the dirt at the groundbreaking in 2004. Perry has donated autographed guitars to the Rotary Club’s auctions and to Duxbury schools.

“The town is such a special place for the Perrys,” said Koelsch last September. “It’s where they raised their sons and they have such fond memories of Duxbury.”

Aerosmith celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2020. Besides Perry, Aerosmith consists of lead singer Steven Tyler, drummer Joey Kramer, bassist Tom Hamilton and guitarist Brad Whitford. They have won four Grammys and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.

Perry and his bandmates have all called the South Shore home. At one point, Tyler, Kramer and Whitford all lived in Marshfield. Hamilton was the outlier, living in Boston and Cape Cod. Tyler and Perry even owned a music club, Mount Blue, in Norwell in 1997.
