I think they should have quit 20 years ago. But they won't since there is still money to collect. It's the law of supply and demand.
They will go on as long as we are still handing in the money. If age and bad health doesn't come in between.
They enjoy it a bit, too, don't you think?

Perhaps. But I honestly think it's more like going to work for Jagger when he sings JJ Flash for the 1151th time.
Makes me think about that statement about being 40 and still doing Satisfaction on stage...[www.setlist.fm]

sorry to post doom and gloom regarding when the band finally end for whatever reason but we all know they wont go on forever, none of us will.
personally i would love to see all the bend members live for another 30 odd years but i really dont want the rolling stones to last this long or even into their mid 80,s.
jagger is 75, would be great to have them tour and record for another 4 years at most if possible, i dont want them to continue with jagger at 80, but if they quit at the end of this tour i would respect the decision whoever made it. also i dont want them to continue after someone dies god forbid, with a replacement and i dont want them to continue if performances are not good,
what do others think, how long would you want them to continue for and for what circumstances would you want them to quit.

They have done it before..
That "age-thing" is just in our heads..
They were "too old" In their 40's,"too old" In their 50's etc... And no "too old"again. Are we that stupid?They are no fading away That easy. There Will be couple of presidents.. And Sun, the moon and the Rolling Stones.

I'm more worried about the future of IORR when the Stones decide to call it quits as a touring band.

I am sure discussions about "Thoughts on Mick Taylor" or "The New Album of The Stones coming soon" will continue long after the Rolling Stones have called it quits. As I am sure somewhere some guys are still hoping the remaining Beatles will make another album and then go on tour.

As long as they can play and as long as they enjoy doing it, I will follow. Personally I don't care about their ages.

Honestly speaking, 22 years ago, when the Stones released B2B and did another massive world tour, how many of you thought there was a chance that they'd still be touring in 20-25 years?

84 old drummer IS NOT mission impossible.

I wasn't actually thinking that - for sure that sort of discussion surely continues in one form or other - but more of our moderator's motivation to run this place...

They'll do this year's tour for sure.
Release new album close to when The Who releases theirs.
Tours from 2020-2022 behind the new album.
I'm sure they'll play until someone can't finish a show.

I remember well that me and a bunch of Stones-fan friends were joking on the release of the 25x5 DVD. "Well, off we go to the next 25 years", but non of us seriously believed that a 50x5 DVD would see the light, ever. Not even Bill Wyman, quitting after 30 years, could keep the "5" alive, he for sure also couldn't believe the band would survive that long without him.
so no 50x5 DVD, but the Stones themselves (probably didn't believe it either at the time) are closing in on 60x(5-1)! Sometimes I pinch my skin to make sure I'm not dreaming.
