What a mess. I really don't want to write them off, but it'll be harder with each year they wait for another tour. And they already proved that they don't have it in the studio anymore...

Still, much as I'd like to see another Stones show I pretty much realised I saw the last of the band after the lights dimmed in Nijmegen in 2007. And I am cool with that. I saw them 14 times, on 5 different tours. I'm very happy I got the opportunity to see the band with Bill in 1990.

It's not really surprising to me that it might end this way... in some ways it would be most fitting, since the band was built on decadence and self indulgence... the big tours and circus wasn't very fitting... A good old personal tragedy, and this one not deadly, at least yet, is very apropo. Booze and Girls should end this band, not old age and diminished skills... So be it, if it ends, better than watching them try to keep up with Jagger and keep making mony they will never spend... time to let some other bands make that money... like Bruce and U2...just kidding! I'd rather see Ronnie sober and HAPPY, in his last years, than play 50 or60 shows behind the faux sobriety visage...
I said my goodbye in 2006, I was prepared for this...

Don't give up hope folks. I know their aging faster these days and Ronnie is a mess. But shit I remember July 72 leaving Maple Leaf Gardens Toronto thinking gee I may never see these guys again. Long time ago I know but my bets are on a few shows yet to come late this year or an arena tour early 2011.

The Rolling Stones: 'We're not playing 2010 Glastonbury festival'


Band announce they 'won't be touring this year'

January 5, 2010 |

...

The Rolling Stones have declared that they will not be playing at the Glastonbury festival this year, following rumours that they were set for a headline slot.

The band addressed the issue directly, saying that the festival rumours were false and that they would not be touring at all in 2010.

"Following recent UK media speculation, The Rolling Stones would like to make it clear there are no plans at the moment for the band to tour in 2010," a spokesperson for the band told NME.COM.

Meanwhile, the band are set to release a reissue of their 1972 classic 'Exile On Main Street' in May featuring a host of unreleased songs including 'Plunder My Soul', 'Following The River' and 'Sophia Loren'.

U2 have been announced as one headliner for Glastonbury and a second unnamed act has also been confirmed for the Pyramid Stage top spot, while organiser Emily Eavis has said that Dizzee Rascal will probably be appearing at the festival too.

You break my heart.
It ain't over yet, sweetie.
Things don't look good; but never give up hope.
If any Band can defy time, it's our Stones.

Still disappointed,

My heart is broken in a million of piecies.

If they don't want to tour because of age or the economy, fine -- fair enough. But if it's because of Ronnie, that's ridiculous. Waiting a year, at their age, is foolish. I can't imagine more than trivial amount of people staying home if Ronnie is axed, and by virtue of not being Ronnie, his replacement would necessarily be a musical improvement.

Disappointing obviously, but best wait & hope for a better prepared Stones in 2011, LJ.

A tour at the moment is more likely to be akin to 'life support' than a 'life raft', unfortunately.... Sad

Hopefully it'll be earlier in 2011 than usual.

Damn. We're only 5 days into 2010.

But the "at the moment" caveat does give a glimmer of something in the next 360.

I know G. I know.
You know me though. I miss them SO much and the clock is ticking away.

My crystal ball now tells me they want to focus on the 50th Anniversary and Ronnie's health and
plans have been pushed back to 2011-2012.

I will begin lighting candles and saying novenas.

Well, if this isn't the perfect time to get the Winos back together, I don't know what it. Or else we could only conclude that Keith prefers retirement and/or the easy joyride of mega-Stones.

Anybody remember the first news we heard about the B2B Tour?  It was a press announcement that the Stones would definitely NOT tour in 1997.


Here's a Daily Mail article which says they're definitely not firing Ronnie. So maybe they really are!


Rolling Stones will NOT tour this year (so no nice little earner for Ronnie Wood, then)
By Ben Todd
Last updated at 10:17 PM on 04th January 2010


The Rolling Stones tonight announced they had no plans to tour this year.
The superstars took the extremely rare step of issuing an official statement after intense speculation in the music business they were planning another global jaunt, which had been pencilled in to be announced in April.
The statement read: ‘Following recent UK media speculation, The Rolling Stones would like to make it clear, there are no plans at the moment for the band to tour in 2010.’


The decision will be seen as a blow to troubled Ronnie Wood, who is notoriously poor at looking after his money.
Indeed, following his divorce from ex-wife Jo - which will see him selling both their former marital home in Kingston Hill, Surrey, and their estate in Ireland as part of her £6.5 million pay-out - a money-spinning tour would have been the ideal way for Mr Wood to replenish his funds.

The last Stones tour, A Bigger Bang, netted more than £300million.
'Ronnie's always been terrible at holding on to cash - so the Stones' tours are invaluable. And at the moment he's got the cost of the divorce as well,' a source insisted.


Rumours had been rife for months that the legendary rock group were planning a series of huge concerts across the globe.
It had also been suggested that frontman Mick Jagger was preparing to replace guitarist Mr Wood, 62, following his recent troubles - unless he went into rehab to seek help for his drinking.
He received a formal police caution for common assault after attacking erstwhile partner Ekatarina Ivanova in a road close to their home in Claygate, Surrey, at the beginning of December.


Since then, Ms Ivanova has been interviewed talking of the attack and Mr Wood’s alcohol and drugs problems. In total, she is believed to have received more than £100,000 for the series of interviews.
She is also one of the contestants on this year’s Celebrity Big Brother series, which began on Sunday on Channel 4, and for which her fee is £75,000.
But despite the humiliation that Ms Ivanova’s growing public presence is causing Mr Wood and the band, sources indicated there was some good news for Mr Wood because there are no plans for them to sack him.
A source revealed: ‘There haven't been any serious discussions between Ronnie and Mick during the Christmas holiday. They wished each other Merry Christmas and that was about it. There was certainly no ultimatum for Ronnie.'
However, the band’s statement this evening is at odds with comments Mr Wood gave to reporters at the beginning of November.
When asked then if the band were planning to tour this year, he said: ‘Let’s hope so, yeah... I’m ready to rock.’
The Bigger Bang tour went on for almost two years before ending in August 2007.

Mr Wood joined the Rolling Stones in 1976 after the departure of Mick Taylor.
