A wonderful show in Vienna, thanks so much! And a huge thank you to the amazing choir that joined us all the way from Ukraine for the encore!

The Rolling Stones invite Ukrainian choir to perform on stage in Vienna
The Rolling Stones have invited a boys and girls choir from Ukraine to perform with them onstage in Vienna as part of their Sixty tour.
The Dzvinochok boys choir and Vognyk girls choir group, alongside their choirmaster Ruben Tolmachov, managed to travel from Kyiv by road to the Ernst Happel Stadium where they will perform in front of an audience of 56,000.
Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood – joined by Steve Jordan on drums – will perform anthem You Can’t Always Get What You Want with 14 members from the two choirs onstage in Vienna on Friday.
It is the one and only time on the UK and European Sixty tour that a choir will perform with the band.
Choirmaster Mr Tolmachov said: “This is a very special night for the two choirs and a chance of a lifetime not to be missed, I’m so glad we made it here to Vienna a night to remember for all of us.”
As with all the dates on the tour, the Stones are expected to open their set with a video tribute to drummer Charlie Watts.

This is great!
Indeed! I hope they would release it officially in their YouTube channel or something. I mean, to make it a more public statement (It's YCAGWYW, right?)

They are at least 5 months late with this statement.
A lot of bands made their statements in the early days of the war. Deep Purple returned their presents to Medvedev in the end of February. Metallica made a statement too. Billy Shears (a.k.a. Paul McCartney) went onstage with Ukrainian flag every show. Pink Floyd issued a new song in march (+ CD and 7'' today with all costs to Ukrainian relief)... There were more artist and media persons who speak loud from the very early days of the war. And the Stones made it only now. As Ukrainian and a huge fan I was a bit disappointed by their position. Well... Better late than never.
Thank you (at last).

Beautiful version. Id say its perfect.
They should sell those Ukraine tongue shirts and give the money for charity.
Id buy one.
Yes, absolutely, they should sell those Ukraine tongue shirts for charity and give the money for charity!! E.g. for children from Ukraine. I'd buy two.Quote

I did not see them for sale at the venue or outside.
Matt has a great idea. Hopefully someone will pass it along.
I'd buy a few of the shirts. They make great gifts for the family and more importantly will go to a great cause.
Maybe we can start a thread!Quote

i think he might be talking about ironbelly's post or just trying to remind us to be mindful of what we post and how we say it
