A break for 3 months and then Mick, Keith and Charlie will talk if it's fun to take another tour Europe etc. (Mick Taylor and Ronnie en the rest will say yes anyway $$$)........................

i promise you that i will be the very first one in line to illegally download a free copy of whatever they choose to release.

Perhaps a partnership with Donald Trump to create a series of Rolling Stones branded retirement communities/casinos across the world?

If so they are way behind Jimmy Buffett in that line.

I think that it should come to an end.

Sometime in the 1970s I was reading a 1967 review of Satanic Majesties. The reviewer commented about the song 2000 Man, saying if the Stones were still touring in the year 2000 it would be the first time ever that a bunch of 60-year-olds toured as a rock band. I bet you that the reviewer is dead.

I mean stop everything, no more releases from the archives, no nothing. Life will go on and the legacy is already in fulll bloom. There is more than enough stuff to chew on. There are tons of bootlegs on YouTube.

I really don't want to see Charlie Watts have a heart attack while playing his drums on stage or some other terrible calamity.

Let it end.

That's actually one of the most mind-blowing notions I've come across. You want to say to a bunch of people who are very much alive and enjoying playing music that you'd rather they behave as if they were dead, so that we can all pretend they are?

(Having a heart attack while playing his drums may be exactly the way Charlie would like to go out. I'm quite sure Keith would want to just keel over in mid-riff.)

Better to go out on a reasonably high note - like right now. There is an art and a skill in life with respect to knowing when to stop.

Mick Jagger was asked, in an interview from the early 70s, if he could see himself still performing into his sixties. The not yet 30 year old's answer: "Oh, yeah, easily."

Bill Wyman will be taking the stage later this month at Glastonbury as a 76 year old, so why is it difficult to think that Charlie and the rest could not perform well into their seventies?

With all due respect--no there isn't. You only get one life, live as much of it as humanly possible. Never mind what other people think or whether it's "age-appropriate" or whatever. Screw all that!

Hopefully after this, they will retire with whatever little dignity they have left...For the most part this tour has been an embarrassment to their legacy,having MT completely ignored and just using him as a circus act for 1 or 2 numbers,to having "special guest"that should not even be allowed into a Rock concert,sharing the stage with the band,having tickets prices so outrageous,that only rich folks could afford,having to almost give away tickets,so they would not be half empty houses,to Keith Richards playing or more likely strumming a guitar with no purpose,looking lost in a daze of whatever,he is snorting or smoking now days. So yes, please retire,count all your money and enjoy the few years you got left....

They will never stop touring. But they will take more breaks, lomnger breaks, and less shows between the breaks. Comes with age. Not rocket science really. They used to do 100+ shows per tour. You can't do that with a bunch of grandchildren and lots of family activities. Also they need to do what any other person age 65++ do - some resting.

Expect a break of some time, then more arena shows, probably also Brazil and Argentina. Nothing is confirmed, they just have lots of bids for shows on the table, they will not even look at them until they have had Mick's birthday cake and some more rest.

The clip where he says it is shown in the movie Shine A Light. About the quote "I don't want to be a rock n roll singer all my life", he also once said that he didn't want to be singing Satisfaction at 30, then 40, then 50....

Obviously, he has changed his mind.

All sounds good to me, THEY aren't done yet .......... and neither am I !!

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

I hope BV is right and I hope they come to Florida soon!!!

Maybe it is the right time to stop. I do not want this people to play the warhorses again and again and again............ if they are not productive as an active band (i mean a new album of new songs) is better to stop and to enjoy the legacy

My guess, and it's only a guess, is that they'll hit Europe before coming back to the states. They've already hit all the U.S. cities that count (yes, that's right ) so it's Europe's turn next.

... a new line of action figures...

People really think they are coming back to the States? "east coast jan start" ??? You can still get tickets to see them on the east coast this week. What makes anyone think there is any demand left at anyehere near the prices they need to play arenas in the US?

Maybe a few one-offs in Europe and South America, stadiums where they can make a lot without charging amounts that they can't get there and, to be honest, where just showing up and going through the motions is enough. I don't think we'll see more than that.

...see you again in L.A.
