I think there won't be official "ending"... They'll play gigs on music festivals, or i.e. in O2 few times a year, do some singles, maybe album and tour this year... And that will go until they die or become too old in next 10-15 years! Why not?

So long Sir Mick Jagger and Mr Keith Richards are living, The Rolling Stones do exist. When 1 of the 2 pass away, that's the end of the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world!!

What about Charlie? Don't think the Stones would continue without Charlie either. And they will soon be known as, "the greatest of ALL time"!

Charlie is not an orginal member, he joined them 7 month later. They did also not stopped as Bill quit the band. Mick and Keith must be in the band.

Sorry, but there is no way Mick and Keith would continue as the Rolling Stones without Charlie Watts. If they did, then shame on them. Charlie officially joined the band six months later. Out of nearly 51 years together they operated without Charlie for only six months in the very beginning.

It ends like this......


There last concert together will be July 31ST 2043. They play every song they never played live in a 52 hour concert. While playing Prodical Son Keef curls up into a ball and crokes. Jagger, Charlie and Woody finish the song then Charlie and Mick kick the bucket.

The next day Keef is creamted and we all snort a line of his ashes. Charlie and Mick are put into a cannon that Ronnie lights up and blasts them into space. After that the curtain opens and Jane Rose presents all of us with a check for every dollar we all spent on Stones stuff.

Why not? The Who continue without John and Keith. So why not also The Rolling Stones? Mick & Keith are so important in this band as Pete & Roger in The Who!

Perfect ending: the band is attacked by zombies, and this time they don't come out on top...

By that standard, Mick and Keith aren't original members either. Brian and Stu got together first, and recruited the others.

The final encore will be NOT FADE AWAY, The LAST TIME and a 10 minute version of ITS ALL OVER NOW......

Good point!

To be honest, I think it's already happened. How can they top those concerts they just had? They can't carry a cadre of guest stars and original members across the world with them. Everyone is tired of their post-Wyman lineup. If there's nothing new at this point, it's pretty much over.

Maybe they could continue with a name change? 'Two Stones Still Rolling'?

There is a part of me that agrees with you, as far as the live performances go, but they still have some unfinished business in the studio, at least that is the way I see it. However, if it is indeed over, then they truly did go out in a blaze of glory. which is the best way to go out.

You are right!

A free concert in an intimate venue just for iorr subscribers and their friends - ending in a majestic version of Midnight Rambler. And as the band take their final bow they are all incinerated by a wall of flame - and the ashes are then lined out on a huge mirror from which the audience snort them up.

I think that would be the most tasteful option.

suicide on the stage

They are to old to die with a plain crash like Buddy Holly and Otis Redding.
But it would give them immortal fame.............. ;-)

My goodness. I'd like to hear the others (or on second thoughts, perhaps I wouldn't).

suicide on the stage

Both Madonna and Lou Reed came to the same dreadful realisation.........that this was what 'fans' really wanted...............both said an inevitable lack of trust and emotional distance developed after that............

And obviously the idea has passed through Mick's mind too.............."suicide right on the stage"...........

For many here, the Stones have always been a part of our lives, we either discovered them in our teens or grew up with them. To think about the world without the band is to think about the passing of our own youth. Even though they are old and gray (at least under the hair dye), the fact that they are one of the few bands from a bygone era that are mostly intact means that we can recapture some of the magic of that time when we see them on stage. The time will come when they can no longer perform as a group, because one or more of them have died or they are not in good health. In the meantime, I am just grateful that it does appear they will do another tour and I am still here to see it. Other than that, I don't want to think about an ending, perfect or otherwise.

50 shows in the O2 Arena, with the last show at New Year's Eve?

We all know that the end is near. Whether it ends next year, or as late as the 50th anniversary of Satisfaction in the summer of 2015, time is running out. So what is your perfect ending for the Rolling Stones? A classic new album? A blockbuster tour? Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor rejoin the band? Jeff Beck joins them on a farewell tour?

One last great album! One last tour! In 2022!

Which one is real?

The five shows at the end of last year would be a fine way to call it a day.

April 17, 1967
in Athens, Greece.
Yes, it has already happened.

Kudos to anyone who figures that out.
