Regarding any talk of ‘ruining their legacy’, etc: the Stones’ legendary status is long cemented. Post ’81 and the excellent Tattoo You, they’ve released a stinker, Dirty Work, and several so-so and ‘quite good’ albums. I genuinely don’t believe it is possible for them to tarnish their reputation, as a legendary act, as it’s set in stone with their touring history and truly classic works: Beggars

Martin Amis died from the same cancer as his great friend, Christopher Hitchens: cancer of the oesophagus. If he were to die of something so awful, I suppose he may have thought it appropriate to go the same way. Heck, if there were a heaven, maybe they’d be sharing a drink and a cigarette right now. Or, perhaps not, knowing Hitchens’ absolute phobia of all things holy!

QuoteRocky Dijon Logically if they wait for 2026, they might as well hold on until the 70th Anniversary in 2032 or 2033. Mick and Keith will be 90 in 2033 (that's only 630 years old in dogs' years). I'm sure Mick will still be in great shape and Keith will have been sober for about 12 years so he'll be playing like it's 1965 again. You're joking, of course. Charl

Quotetreaclefingers I think you could also look at it in a completely other way though. As the Stones tour very frequently, the demand for one Led Zep show would be understandably massive.
