Ian, I don't think "touring based on nothing" will be accurate. They've got the whole 50th thing going ("and counting"), plus the "Grrr!" comp, a new single that's recieved very favorable reviews and airplay, the "Crossfire Hurricane" doc, "Charlie Is My Darling", the book this last year, etc.
I'll put money on them releasing at least one new single before June 2013 (maybe just for download), never mind the obvious DVD comp.
As long as they can take their time (and space out the shows) and rake in the money, I think 2013 could be a HUGE Stones year (and who knows - maybe a full album of new-ish stuff).
Maybe we're in agreement here...

Thanks for your input Mr. Yeats and I like the fact that we are on the same page. You asked are we in agreement here: Yes... I think they will certainly do another album. Yes... I think next year they will start working on it... who knows...maybe even release it by late next fall. However no... I don't think they will release another single by June ...and no I think the momentum for these celebrations will grind to a halt for a little while after this years end. I think they will pick things up in a live sense later on in the year....however not in simply 1 or 2 months into the year.
This is it for their 50th THIS year...they are going to leave that idea behind and lay it to rest after this year ... THEN it will be onto something eles... who knows...maybe recording an album on the road and going back to do shows again next spring or late summer. Whatever it entails it will not be simply The Rolling Stones doing shows with no new product surrounding it.
