Hi people,
Our beloved drummer Charlie has given an interview saying that the Rolling Stones will perhaps give some concerts in 2012
That's all I saw on a french news channel...no more info on the interview, where and when he gave it.

in fact Charlie is in France

(AFP) – Il y a 11 heures
PARIS — Charlie Watts, le batteur des Rolling Stones, estime que le groupe donnera "peut-être" quelques concerts en 2012, année où il fêtera ses 50 ans, mais le musicien "doute" d'une tournée, a-t-il indiqué vendredi à l'AFP.

"Je suppose que, si nous parvenons à nous arranger, nous ferons quelques concerts", mais "je doute que nous fassions une tournée", a-t-il déclaré lors d'un entretien.

C'est "principalement la maison de disques" qui marquera le coup, peut-être avec un documentaire, a-t-il avancé.

Dans un entretien au quotidien français Le Parisien la semaine dernière, Mick Jagger, interrogé sur une tournée l'année prochaine avait déclaré : "Peut-être. On discute mais je ne suis pas sûr d'être prêt à m'embarquer dans un périple à travers les 100 plus grandes villes du monde".

Selon le journal, le groupe serait cependant attendu en France en 2013 dans le cadre d'une tournée.

Charlie Watts se produira dimanche au New Morning à Paris avec son quartette "The A, B, C & D of Boogie-Woogie". Le lendemain, il sera une des têtes d'affiche de la 24e édition du festival "L'estival" de Saint-Germain-en-Laye,j en région parisienne, où se produiront également Joyce Jonathan et Stacey Kent jusqu'au 8 octobre.

"Je suppose..." says Charlie.

So start saving your dough for the tour.

(AFP) - 11 hours ago

PARIS - Charlie Watts, the drummer of the Rolling Stones, considers that the group will give "maybe" some concerts in 2012 when it will celebrate its 50 years, but the musician doubts of a tour, he indicated on Friday to AFP.

" I suppose that, if we succeed in arranging, we shall make some concerts ", but I doubt that we do a tour, he declared during the interview.

It is " mainly the record company " that will mark the occasion, maybe with a documentary, he advanced.

In an interview to the daily French paper "le Parisien" last week, Mick Jagger, questioned about a tour next year had declared: " maybe. We discuss but I am not sure to be ready to embark on a trip through the biggest 100 cities of the world ".

According to the newspaper, the group would however be expected in France in 2013 within the framework of a tour.

Charlie Watts will occur on Sunday in the New Morning in Paris with his jazz quartet " The A, B, C and D of Boogie-woogie ". The next day, he will be one of tops of the bill of the 24th edition of the festival " The summer " of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, in Paris region, where will also occur Joyce Jonathan and Stacey Kent until October 8th.

That be good enough for me ... the Stones live in 2012, somewhere or other !! Bring it on !! Yippeeeeeeee !!

[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]

Not bad at all. Thanks for posting

Keep On Rolling

Encouraging.

Good old Charlie.Given us a little bit more hope than yesterday.

do I misunderstand something? Does "I doubt that we do a tour" not mean that he doubts that there will be a tour?

Charlie thinks probably not going to tour ,but play some shows in 2012.Lots of possibilities there for next year,but will have to wait and see. Mick loves to keep us thinking and when he knows,and is ready ,he will tell the world.Maybe by the end of 2011 or start of 2012.Always a bit of a gloomy time after Christmas and New Year and would make a lot of people very happy then.Could all work around the 'situation' with Keith maybe.

But at least to my ears what Charlie says there is quite in line with Jagger's lately sayings (they were in the same meeting, right?). Something will happen, the anniversary will be remembered some how (documents, releases - Charlie hints to the direction of record company being effective here), which most probably will mean including some shows. But what goes for a tour, that sounds like out of question at the moment. But of course, if the shows go alright, and the old diesel starts running again, who knows where it will lead...

Maybe we'll get a string of luxury shows in selected major cities (L.A. N.Y. London Paris Tokyo etc) with tix prices to boot...

When you look at tours like 1969 and 1972 they only lasted three months.

So that's the fantasy, a three-month tour of arenas with reasonable ticket prices, a stripped-down band, and basic lighting, no extra gimmicks.

Now if only it was about 1983 then it could have all worked. You can't turn the clock back on the boys, or the fans.

Would Mick wear the jump suit then?

As long as he doesn't wear that awful headpiece with all the feathers, or whatever that was.

Thanks for the information,J.P
It means Charlie said he think there won't be a tour,at least the same kind of tour the Stones did these last years .A few gigs may be ?



I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

No big surprise from CW - didn't expect them to do a major 2-3 years stadium tour. To my taste, I would rather like seeing them in smaller arenas. Have seem them > 10 times on stadiums, now it is time for a closer look.

I laughed my butt off here. English to Czech to Dutch to English. Hilarious stuff.

I swear, if anyone is ever bored, try running a short piece through several languages back to its original and see what you get. Not only will you not be able to stop yourself from laughing, but you might also get some insight as to why there are so many problems at the United Nations.

Laughable indeed !!!!

I have a bad feeling this means the big fans will be left out in the cold while the VIPs are inside enjoying each others company ignoring The Stones. Such is life...
