Correct Homer. Bloody common sense. The tour needs to happen this year.

This rumor of a year-long delay is coming from the Daily Mail. Is that a believable story, or is this tabloid reporting with no basis in reality?

Waiting a full year opens the door for one of the others to develop some issue, or perhaps Charlie will be a year older and say “screw this i am not touring again”.

Rolling Stones fans will have to wait for up to a year to see the band live again after Sir Mick Jagger’s heart surgery because stadium venues are booked up.

Apart for their usual nameless sources, the ever dubious Daily Mail's report speaks of a "cancelled" tour. So much for fact checking.

It is a tabloid. One would think if there were legs to the story other outlets would be running with the story today as well, just like what happened with the drudge story on Mick’s illness/injury being heart related. If Mick doesn’t want to tour, god bless him, everyone would more than understand. I don’t see an issue with scheduling. The stadiums are used for football about 10 times a year starting in August. Not an insurmountable scheduling task to overcomes preseason football game in August

Many of the stadiums are used for NFL football and soccer. The NFL is NOT going to permit the use of a stadium after Tuesday or Wednesday when a home game is scheduled. The risk is too high (see the Mexico City debacle) I am sure they could come up with a series of dates but there is no way they are going to route it Glendale, Chicago, NJ, Denver, Miami for example. With a minimum of 3 days between shows, weather and stadium availability this is not a trivial matter.

Well.somehow they pulled it off in 1981,1989,1994,1997,2002,and in 2006.

It's not any different this year besides more grass fields.These NFL teams play 8 home games + 2 pre-season games in their respective stadiums between the beginning of August and the end of December.

That's 10 weeks with a game in a given stadium in a span of about 21 weeks.

And Glendale has the grass playing surface on rollers. They roll the whole grass field outside so,it will not be damaged by a concert.

The Rose Bowl is only used for college football ,not the NFL,besides a SuperBowl once every couple of decades.

Furthermore,there is a 9 day gap between the last pre-season game and the first regular season game. Except for the 1 team hosting the Thursday night opener.(Probably Chicago this year.)

That means that 15 NFL teams will have AT LEAST the 9 day gap.More than the 9 days if their last pre-season game is on the road. And it means that a minimum of 16 NFL teams will have at least a 16 day gap between using their home stadium.

I think they can make it happen if Jagger feels that he is / will be ready for sure ... and if they want to make it happen.

New Orleans is already gone because of timing and they could cut out the second shows in Chicago and NJ to permit the stadiums to have their other events. This will all be worked out. There is too much money at stake and Mick's health will be fine. This is a pretty ordinary operation these days with great recoveries achieved, esp. by men in the shape he is.

Too many people worrying over a BS article in the Daily Mail. That's my thought anyway.

Question regarding ticketmaster list of Stones shows - specifically the order
in which they are listed. For the two NJ shows and the two Chicago shows, is
there a way to determine which show would originally be show #1 and which show would originally be #2. This is important since the origional dates are no longer listed. I think there is a possibility the shows are listed in somewhat of a random order. If this is the case, then you run the risk of purchasing new tickets for a show you already have tickets for.

Click on the specific show link on the official Stones page which still has the shows listed in original order: Postponed

Dismiss the daily.mail article. Speculation on their part. You people know more about the situation(s) than they do. I heard the tour has to happen this year. I don't know the why or the 'or else'.

Suspect you're right.
Burls creek might be another to consider cutting for logistics.

As for the NFL besides a few spotty pre-games, there will only be a few weeks of regular season games to deal with for probably just the last three shows.
If as TM has it listed, Denver, Santa Clara,and Seattle.. we'll see soon where the home/away schedule has them playing, but surely that short a time frame is do-able.

Mick enjoys playing in Canada and more specifically Toronto. If the the show gets cancelled due to circumstances so be it but majority of people in Ontario are not interested in the hassle of going to the states. The dollar exchange is lousey and the hotels are booked up and/ or expensive.
We will take the show in our own backyard please and thank you.

Ya, I love him too, but we need to respect and trust Mick that he knows what is best for him.
He has been fine tuning himself forever.
He’ll know what to do.
Meanwhile, sun lights shining on him healing~

Maybe this could mean a whole new era: a more slowed down version of the Stones, with a new americana/blues record with some great ballads and Jagger playing more harmonica.
