If Keith says so as well as the official spokesperson and the official newsletter, then I am optimistic to see them again.

If everyone else here wants to be pessimistic… well that‘s your problem

What's likely the issue is people are seeing the aging process amplify A LOT in the past few years considering seeing enough of them in real time in some way - think of being an Alan Alda fan of MASH and following his career and then 'out of nowhere' he seems frail - a tipping point of aging.

Given their ages and "life style" it probably is alarming.

The chirps of Keith did drugs etc are catching up to him have some sounding in science, as heroin does accelerate aging.

Keith saying he will see you might mean just that, HE will see you, not necessarily as the Stones.

He looks energised to me, maybe had a few celebratory new year drinks and a joint, he doesn't look older or frail to me.

Well, both of them made it past 80. That's more than the average life expectancy in the UK and the US as well. And I don't think either of them look older than their peers.
In fact both of them seem comparatively healthy for their age. No major issues as far as I see.

I have seen lots of almost indistinguishable AI deepfakes but I haven’t seen one of Keith Richard that was even close to being good. The man is just too charismatic and using far too much unique body language. Same with Mick Jagger

Still smoking…. Something…

The AI Micks all look like something out of "The Planet of the Apes"

Or he’s just saying “see you” because it’s something friendly everyone says and has no specific meaning beyond that.

Of course you are right, i was just saying it doesn't mean because he says see you that it's in the context of the Stones as others seem to think.

The Rolling Stones stopping touring is one another end of the wonderful sixites time and this is a sentimental moving feel.

Yes. Keith says so. Which to me means 2027 given that he refers to 2026 in the same vid. Notice that he seems to smoke again.

He's talking about 2026 and he's holding a joint.

Keith used to lid at cigarette at the start of his set during some tours. Then he tossed it away, without really smoking. Image.

Marijuana ("a joint") is said to be healing for some with pain related to arthritis. Also, it is image.

I do not want any drugs discussions here on IORR, in general, I am just saying what is IORR policy.

They could not commit to a full tour of 14-20 shows in Europe 2026, lasting for four - 4 - months, including six weeks or so of rehearsals. Still, they might look into other solution that might work. I am sure they will do some public appearances during the release of their next album, some time this year.

I do not see The Rolling Stones as a Las Vegas act. Las Vegas is on the US West Coast, five hours flights from where Keith live in CT, near NYC. I would wait for the next RS band meeting, then they have new offers on the table.

Now that’s what we call an optimistic view

Good Lord willing…..recovering from hip replacement surgery, hoping for some great Stones info regarding new music and possible band promotion….regardless they are amazing!! And so is IORR

Rather than perpetuating the never-ending conspiracy theory, put the tinfoil hat away for a while ..

Best of luck with the hip surgery. I had both hips replaced in 2024, thus preventing me from seeing any of the US shows of the Hackney Diamonds tour. I am currently 100 percent and my bet is you will soon be the same. I like BV's optimistic outlook!

Shout out to my wife for support. Seems like she wants to keep me around lol

What is next? The Stones have given quite something. There will probably be a new album. Looking at the clip from Keith Richards, you can see that he seems to feel comfortable on the sofa.Maybe there will be some appearances. I do not expect another tour. Keith Richards should enjoy himself and avoid any risks.

This thread is closed because it is abused by hateful comments, conspiracy theories, posts regarding what random presidents say, and endless quotes of such crap. It is time to take a timeout, and please read my post about respect etc in this thread a page or so ago.
