Rolling Stones 50th anniversary tour on for 2013
Written by admin on March 15, 2012 – 4:25 pm -The prospect of a 50th anniversary Rolling Stones tour this year seems to be over, but it now seems certain that the band will hit the road in 2013.
Richards told Rolling Stone that the 50th anniversary theme would still work for next year:
| “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.” |
