Early in the morning today, letiitbleed, from our message board posted a link to a reliable newspaper in Spain "El Mundo"

http://rocksoff.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=11448 or the article at http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2011/12/23/cultura/1324669104.html

...and this article shows a link to tickets on sale at the Wien Ernst Happel Stadion for Summer 2012!!

So if they start in Europe it is possible to start with Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor (also mentioned in the article) and then having Bill with enough energy to fly to America

There were some serious factual errors in that piece about their recent jam session (Taylor wasn't there for starters) and the bit about them all going to Paris together afterwards isn't true either. So, I'd take all this Taylor and Wyman nonsense with a proverbial grain of salt.

That ticket offer is for a scalper's site. Its not the first one in recent weeks to jump to conclusions about a Stones show in order to get would-be customers to register with them.  That one advertising that they were going to have premium seats for a show in Washington was another - and then when people enquired, they admitted they were still just speculating.

Just speculating?....I had no idea Ian owned a ticket scalping company!

According to one Spanish poster on IORR (Javi), this journalist is totally unreliable :

Take a look at the "journalist" who writes in El Mundo newspapper: JULIÁN RUIZ . So, if Julian Ruiz writes something about the Rolling Stones, you can be sure that 99 % is MISTAKEN.I´m sure that just a minute before to printed it in the newspapper somebody told him: "Hey Julián, but... Brian Jones doesn´t dead in 1969? So, he can´t be joined with the band in 2012!!" So, let´s wait and see... will be better for us!



Yet if you read some posters on facebook, you'd be forgiven for thinking they're about to book flights with their Christmas money. Even a reposted story about the Stones playing Australia in 2012 has some people wetting their pants as it's seemingly tantamount to a 'confirmation' - despite the fact that it's dated February 2011 and contains nothing more than unfounded speculation.

Never ceases to amaze how people will just believe what they want to believe.  Other more reliable sources have said that the Stones have NOT booked this venue for 2012.
