Rolling Stones postpone 15 tour dates

LONDON — The Rolling Stones on Wednesday postponed the first 15 dates of their European tour as guitarist Keith Richards recovers from a head injury.

Stones publicist LD Communications said the European leg of the band's A Bigger Bang tour, which had been due to start Friday in Barcelona, would now begin in July at a venue and city to be announced.

It said the rescheduled dates would be announced in the next few days.

The postponed gigs were scheduled for Barcelona and Madrid; Brussels; Paris; Bergen, Norway; Horsens, Denmark; Gothenburg, Sweden; St. Petersburg, Russia; Brno, Czech Republic; Warsaw; Vienna; Milan; Athens; and Zagreb, Croatia.

The postponement of the two Paris shows on June 3 and July 2 was announced Tuesday by French organizers.

Richards, 62, was injured April 27 in Fiji. News reports variously claimed that he fell out of a palm tree or from a jet ski. Richards later had surgery in New Zealand to relieve pressure in his head.

The Stones' official fan website said in a statement Monday that Richards had returned to the United States, where he lives, and “is feeling great, happy to be home and looking forward to getting back on the road with the Rolling Stones next month.”

Then Nuernberg july 10 will be the first show.

Tickets should go well in germany then!!

the words "soon" and "shortly" are a pox when it comes to RS statements...

it translates as :-

" we don't know and when we do know, screw you -
you're not going to know till the 11th hour"

@#$%&.

I second that.

The one line that fits this whole thing with Keith and the Euro tour is: "SHIT HAPPENS"!

Soon just rs.com that doesn't know anything...

I'm just looking forward.
Suddenly I may have some money again.
Keith will be well.
Lots of fans will be happy after all.
And I'll be sittin' on a fence.
Waiting on a tour.
And a live album we all will critizise heavily.
Damn.
I'm just looking forward.
And now back to the speculations.....

Vienna postponed!

It came on the radio in Austria, few minutes ago!

I don't know what to do now. I have free from work all june so I could see The Rolling Stones, and then have to work all july. So now I don't have time see them at all... I am so depressed for the moment, but I'm not the only one...

The Wort,

You've got August and maybe September. Don't worry, The Stones won' let you down.

Yeah I know.. They always complete a started work. But I want to see them as soon as possible, I have Stones fever for the moment! But have to wait to august/september. At least I'll be waiting for something good.

I´M so sad,
the worst thing happened..

Going to Milan without any anxiety

got tickets for Vienna so hope it happens on the day. could be the opening show.. every day we get these rumours but still nothing concrete.. unless the quote above is from Mick and keith we are all just guessing

This is the end of Baboon's famous naïvism and optimism at this board.
May the Devil take the management!
