There is no way they let the massive payday that a 50th anniversary tour would bring them just pass...The Stones will roll next year in one form or another.

Unstable economy, world unrest, London burning, Keith's book, alleged rift between Mick and Keith, Keith's arthritic hands and brain injury, five years of inactivity by next summer, Charlie will be 71 next year, Mick and Keith turn 69 in 2012, Ronnie's general instability, Mick's new group Superheavy, could all be listed (and have) as reasons the Stones are considered a longshot to come together (as a live act) for their 50th anniversary as a band next summer. I suppose if you were a betting man you would be considered foolish to bet against what seem like insurmountable odds against the Rolling Stones returning for one final shot at glory. Well, I have swung back and forth on this topic for over a year now, at times feeling, even believing, that they will somehow find a way to pull it off. At other times my faith has wavered to the point that I have come close to throwing in the towel altogether resolving that I was lucky enough to have seen them for the last time as a live act on the last tour in 2006. Today we stand just inside 11 months to their 50th anniversary and yet we are still left to wonder whether there is still one magical act left in their bag of miracles that will send them out in a blaze of glory? Please provide us with a simple "yes" or "no" as to whether you believe they will come together and perform at least one concert (or more) sometime next summer for their 50th anniversary? My official answer is "yes". Now, I promise to shut up (no more tour speculation threads) until we receive official word one way or another.

Oh, almost forgot, do you WANT them to come together for at least one concert next summer? A simple yes or no will do. Thank you.

Let me get this straight: You are quoting your own post so you can answer your own question? Just want to clear...

Only one man can truly answer that, and he's kind of busy, you know, actually making music.

My guess - nope.
Do I want them too? For the fans who want to see them again - absolutely. I'm just not one of them.

1. Answer to the question = NO, not in a blaze of glory. If at all, in a quiet, simple manner.

2. Watchman - your threads are drepressing, wasting space, meaningless and they bore the daylights outta me.

3. Please LIGHTEN UP!! Thanks...........

It makes perfect sense. Those that tend to be negative about the future of the Rolling Stones are quite often negative about the watchman. Anyway, take heart, my work is almost done here, mate. At least until July 12.

You speak of yourself in the third person now? That's a scary bad sign.

P.S. I hear Kyoko Ono Cox & Heather McCartney will replace Lisa & Bernard on backing vocals!

Please explain why speaking in the third person is a scary bad sign. I am dying to hear your explanation.
