No Stones tour till 2013

GOT LIVE IF YOU WANT IT…EVENTUALLY: How does “51st anniversary world tour” strike you? The Rolling Stones won’t be going out on their much anticipated half-century celebration this year, rollingstone.com reports, after logging separate interviews with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. "Basically, we're just not ready," said Keef. "I have a feeling [2013 is] more realistic… The Stones always really considered '63 to be 50 years, because Charlie [Watts] didn't actually join until January. We look upon 2012 as sort of the year of conception, but the birth is next year." A top concert-business offered his opinion on the reasons for the delay: "They don't want to do a full tour," he said. "They don't want to travel, and there are concerns about Keith's health." A more likely scenario would see the band camping out for multi­night runs in arenas. "For example, they'd do 10 nights at MSG, 10 nights at Staples, 10 nights at London's O2 arena," the source explained. The band already asked for proposals from AEG, Live Nation and Michael Cohl.
