Sounds like an excuse to me. More likely it's a physical injury but that doesn't fill promoters with confidence so better to blame logistics.

QuoteBig Al Quotegotdablouse Scheduling conflicts for the first 3 dates are mentioned by this Portuguese media : That seems like a more likely explanation than some sudden "the Stones will never tour again" scenario... First three nights? But why cancel the entire tour? Why not scrap those few dates? It’d have been less work for them. Whatever the reasoning, it’s a shame. Undou

If the rumour stating no tour turns out to be correct it's most likely a health issue, age might have caught up with one of them and maybe that Stone has decided there are more important things to do with their time. I hope Ronnie isn't having to go through another round of treatment, also in recent pictures Keith looks thinner, not always a good sign at his age. Who knows, it'

It's the only track good enough to make me play the album, so i guess that's something. Personally I'd rather play Dirty Work, some real gems on there regardless of the bias shown towards it in iorr.

Quoteskytrench I love Mick and all that he's done, but he probably works not 'for them' but 'for himself'. Yes, if he didn't care for DW, then it was disloyal to the band. After the 80's Mick seemed to take a different approach. Agree, i don't think it was Mick going solo that upset Keith so much as Mick still spending time on his solo work while Dirty W

Mixed emotions at the Liverpool gig, like me some people in tears at what I was hearing vocally from an 83 year old but also his harmonica playing and piano was as good as ever. That wasn't enough for some so called fans that wanted to film with their phones and expected better lighting.
