Firstly we need a new studio album with new material, then maybe a new tour!

At this rate does it matter if they tour anymore? Hasn't just about everyone who wants to hear Tumblin' Dice and SFTD heard it for the umpteenth time? It's not like the band changes from tour to tour and you get a different take, like '69 or '72, or'75, etc. How is 2018 different from anything offered since 2012? Isn't 200 bucks a ticket, usually more, a bit steep just to wave at them and feel nostalgic one last time? Where's the novelty? Let them go home and enjoy what precious time they have left. Charlie could write his memoirs. (cue laughter).

I like to see the Stones on stage again, but not all time with the same set list
with Tumbling Dice, IORR, Miss You etc..
I like they'll play songs like Winter, Coming Down Again, Till The Next Goodbye,Citadel, Plundered My Soul, Time Waits For No one or Doncha Bother Me.

I think Charlie will put his foot down after USA tour.

It's Micks's voice. Even if this is denied around here. After a couple of shows it shows. There is nothing you can do about this. It is what it is.
But, as I said, this is denied around here. It's not really allowed to talk about.

Don't see too many (any??) posters denying that Mick has issues at times with his voice (throat). Strongly disagree that it becomes worse or noticeable after a "couple shows" though. Seems it is more succeptable to a flare up after performing in the heat and/or dust of outdoor venues. Also disagree that there's nothing that can be done about it. I'm sure he and his doctors do plenty about it.
Longer breaks in between shows seem to help for obvious reasons, perhaps we'll see a few more of those in future tours.

You are more mature than I am Mike. I typed out a message I am sure glad I didn’t post.
I will address this to you, like we’re back in England.
In the 56 years of thousands and thousands of shows,
maybe .001 % have been cancelled for Mick’s voice.
Anybody who slanders this nearly 75 year old master
for not showing up on time for 56 years of contracted obligations
can kiss my assss.
alright, I gotta go.
Last words:
Don’t blame Mick for nothin’. You could guess it’s one reason and it very well may different.

35love: Sir Michael is very professional these days. Like a CEO in fact. It has nothing to do with that. They hardly never cancel a show. However his voice started to weaken in the late 90s. It went down an octave and the nasality increased. And it broke up easier. When he talks off stage he sometimes sounds as if he has a cold. When he was younger he didn't have these problems. But there we go, since we're not allowed to talk about it it's no use going on. Let's pretend his voice is better than ever then...

No.Bill W and MicK t aint coming back.
I don't think the Stones will ever do a commemorative show.
They've just done a great tour. They should now slip quietly out the door.

I do wonder if the format may have to change - the band ( particularly Mick ) seemed jolly tierd at the end of this one even though good breaks, travel distances were not too long and everyone on top form and no apparent emotional tension . I wonder if Mick will need more rest - longer gaps ? Shorter tours? guest artists ? Shorter set ? A few more slower Blues numbers.

Mick sings better today than his grunting and shouting on Brussels Affair.
