Them opening,closing or having anything to do with the olympics has been specualted on almost from the minute London got the games. As well as ending a tour with an olympic appearance. All just rumours at this point.

A possibility seeing it is their 50th anniversary that year. However they will have to out race Macca to get to the stage first. Hell Phil Collins will be trying to horn in too.

Yeah it was discussed here and Gazza said there is not a chance of that happening. I thought it sounded like a good idea and a logical place for the Stones to showcase their 50th Anniversary. But for the sake of argument, Gazza wins because he is always right.

Well, it must be some truth in that story. Mick alongside with Elton John are the musical ambassadors for the London Olympic 2012. And Mick was involved with the bid according to the homepages of the London Olympics 20102 Comitee.

And I found this article: http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/supergroup-plan-for-2012-olympics_1084688, which is 2 years old.
