I don't know about the ball actually set into motion...but the 2005 press conference was at the start of MAY 2005 and the tour commenced late summer ( mid Septemberish)...See SETLIST above for actual dates...but that is close enough...

There will be a tour in 2012. 'The book' is no longer a major issue.

Cant understand why anyone gets frantic about this so far in advance.

1981
tour announced late July. Opened late September

1989
tour announced mid July. Opened end of August

1994.
tour announced early May. Opened start of August

1997
tour announced mid August. Opened 23rd September

2002
tour announced 7 May. Opened 3rd September

2005
tour announced 10 May. Opened 20th August.

And there's no 'silence from the Stones camp' at all. Every single band member has indicated that they'll probably do something in 2012. They never release a statement in advance of an official tour announcement indicating that they 'intend' to tour anyway.

The internet has spoiled people's perspective of expectancy and patience. It used to be you thought nothing of hearing no news for months on end. Now fans seem to expect daily updates.

He didnt question it. He merely suggested that he hadnt been as active as other band members.

Bon Jovi Death Prankster Getting 'A S--tload of Backlash'Bon Jovi Death Prankster Getting 'A S--tload of Backlash'
news-1005761152
by Michele Amabile Angermiller, THR | diciembre 29, 2011 10:30 EST

The identity of the Grinch who tried to ruin Christmas for Bon Jovi fans by spreading the hoax of rocker Jon Bon Jovi's demise has been revealed to be Jeffrey Goho, a musician from Pennsylvania.

Goho, a vocalist for the band Minutia, told The Asbury Park Press that he started the rumor because he was upset that all news about Bon Jovi -- including opening his new restaurant and appearing in Advil commercials -- had nothing to do with the singer's music career.

"All I heard was 'Bon Jovi this,' 'Bon Jovi's starting a restaurant,' " Goho told the paper. "What was the latest one? The Advil commercial? It was like, 'Jeez, [Bon Jovi] was a household name due to music, not business.' "

The hoax reported that the singer was found in a coma at the Empress Hotel in Asbury Park. It then said hundreds of reporters were camped outside Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune awaiting news of his condition. The report referred to a bogus press release as a source.

Bon Jovi blasted back that evening with a photo of himself under a tree holding a sign that said, "Heaven Looks a Lot Like New Jersey," and appeared with Bobby Bandiera at the Hope Show in Red Bank that night, where he cracked several jokes about his untimely demise.

Since then, Goho has been on his own PR campaign to make sure Bon Jovi fans don't give his band a bad name on his Facebook page.

"Please stop sending attached hate mail to my fellow band members," Goho wrote on his status update. "They are in no way involved."

He referred that he was getting a "s#$tload of backlash from my most recent stunt," on his page, as well.

Goho told the Asbury Park Press that he realizes now that Bon Jovi's "household name" status has "made the tri-state area prosper, hence more musicians having more available places to go, more people to play to, and I was quite wrong."

He did acknowledge that he has gained some new fans from the incident, "but it wasn't my initial intention. I never really thought it would get out of the state of Pennsylvania."

I'm a believer! The Stones will do some shows for the 50 Year Anniversary for sure! It's got to be done, they will not skip this momentous occasion without acknowledgement of the bands incredible longevity. Its more than any of us could have hoped for way back in the early days of ROCK! I doubt any of us expected the Stones to last this long! So let the celebration begin! I've heard rumors of Yankee Stadium, Paris, a London performance to be broadcasted in different Imax theatres across the world, the ideas are out there floating around so its just a matter of time before we get some real facts!
