I’m hearing album couldn’t be pressed until September
Hence delays

really??

It's not at all implausible.

Vinyl has become VERY popular among the young. The demand has overwhelmed the resources to press albums. I seem to recall that Taylor Swift and Adele both had scheduling problems with pressing their latest albums to vinyl.

So if The Rolling Stones want their new album to be available on all popular media at the same time, then it could well be the cause of a delay.

STRESS. I have no idea whatsoever regarding the real cause of the delay. All I'm commenting on is that vinyl pressing delays have happened recently, so it's plausible.

I don't actually even mind if it gets pushed back to the fall. Would ideally be able to combine it with hockey games and even Bruce shows. We'll see what happens.

Ideally to combine with hockey and one Bruce?? To my mind comes first, and always FIRST:

THE ROLLING STONES

All the other is from miner importance, if it fits with my HEROES, then it’s okay. Never let my plans interfere with one Bruce or hockey, although I’m certainly not saying that I would pass on hockey nor on one Bruce

Thank you for that comment. What I meant was killing two (or three) birds with one stone, pun intended.

Sorry I don't believe this. The Stones have so much money! They don't need to shift a tour because of pressing delays!

I have a few friends in the record business and if we are talking about real records - that is vinyl - yes, there is a problem to have a big amount printed real fast. Doesn't work.

However - there will be a new album. We just have to wait - and we will. Saving my money for October.

I hear you on saving money!

It has nothing to do with the new album.

well, the newly announce Springsteen dates surely tell us when/where the Stones won't perform

Of course, can't take it with you. But saving up.

Bruce won't have a band left by the time October comes around!

Maybe it has to do with an old album? Automatic changer?

I really hope it's not a health issue involving mick, keith or ronnie. but such a quick cancellation just a few days after the official announcement is not a good sign. anyone know anything more?

Remember there never was an official announcement - yet.

I believe that if they had to announce the tour on Friday, the album is ready. let's remember that mick, ronnie and keith are very old. evidently one of them is not able to handle a tour. I remember ronnie's health problem in 2017. In my opinion after the medical checks something didn't go right.

My thoughts exactly, Ronnie did well to tour last year but it was against the odds statistically, i was very surprised when the talk started of a new tour this year as i hadn't seen Ronnie in the media out and about in person since his wife Sally swam the channel in August.
Question is if Ronnies not well will Mick and Keith continue like they did when Charlie wasn't well and they replaced him with Steve Jordan.

I don't think that the 'Vinyl delay' is the issue.

Universal Music was recently able to put out 240,000 7"-Singles for Paul McCartney and 160,000 Color-Vinyls for the RS Mono-Box. Universal Music books manufacturing capacities in advance - [Variety.com] .
The complaints about the Vinyl delay often come from Sony Music.

Oh, this is disappointing. I was looking forward to seeing some great shows and seeing a few people. Hoping all are healthy and (trying very hard to find something positive here) at least Bjornulf will be home for strawberry season.

I think the reason is that the new album is not finished.

This topic started Dec.9/2016/// 598 pages later: today Jan. 2023? Nothing!
I should say: Wait and see.

They'll wait with the announcement 'til we reach page 600 to celebrate our longetivity. Mark my words!

My reaction to quote Retired Dog:

No it will be at yes thousand (1000!!!!) pages hot smiley

Way beyond 600 pages, but a long way to go to 1000 pages.

It's not a problem with the "new" record"...

Just joking, I did understand this….

Strawberries - ah!

Given their ages, I can’t imagine the Stones would postpone another lucrative tour because of record pressing delays. I admit I’m worried about their health…

My God. Thoughts, prayers, and all the positive energy and vibes I can muster to the 3 of them!!!!!

I share in the worries that some of the comments and the sudden change in plans hint at. Hopefully they all will be well!

Wow, we were so close...it has to be really "bad news" to cancel what would have taken months to plan.

bv mentioned there would be more news but since they hadn't announced the "Press Conference" or whatever it was they had planned, it doesn't seem they would comment on a cancellation.

All the required info (tour dates, album name, etc...) would have been given to the press ahead of time though so they'll be asking questions and have to be "fed" something.The tabloids are going to jump on this...

Sending positive thoughts to one and all !

If the tour is postponed to the fall, we are going to see an 80-year-old Mick live on stage…if it really happens.

Well... damn.
Most importantly, concern for the band members health.

Beginning to think Vancouver's cursed... fingers crossed for the fall.

BV,

Are you allowed to say what cities were going to get shows on this tour?

Thank you

No health concerns - if you follow the Stones family closely on Insta, there is nothing to worry about. Plenty of stories in the past 3-4 weeks with Keith, Mick and Ron - all of them are doing just fine. Just wait it out and keep it cool.

It's a bit daring to say that, if you don't know for sure, imo.

Not exactly sure Instragram photos shared with the entire world are really an accurate window into private and personal things like health. If only social media was an accurate portrayal of anything..... Obviously, the bands health and well being is all of our maim concerns. Starting to look like the concert gods really don't want our boys touring the US in the Summer anymore. Fall dates in the US lead to many of the same problems we discussed in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Definitely do able but have to work around NFL schedules and possible cold weather for the Midwest and East Coast.
