Norway will have more than 90% of the adult population age 18 and up vaccinated at least once, by August. By October, the adults will be fully vaccinated. Per defintion, a disease affecting all people in a country, or in the world, is a pandemic. The pandemic will be over country by country, as controlled by vaccine and border control. At one point, when the vaccination rate is 70% or more, a

The total age of a band's members will of course grow with the number of band members. It is a silly number used by journalists who don't know what to write. If you add the backing band, and the crew, they are more than 1,000 years old in total, and adding the crowd, may be a million years old. Much better than a boy band with total age less than 100.

One and a half year into the pandemic. Still there are as many virus experts as there are people on the planet. Some are hanging on to some crazy theories a la the earth is flat, vaccine does not work, the virus is not dangerous, and so on. There is plenty of research, science and facts around. Keep in mind the India a.k.a. the Delta virus is a completely game changer, same with the UK a.k.a.

If you look at their tour history, they have added shows on just 4-6 weeks notice. For an entire tour they would probably need a bit more time, due to rehearsals time. I guess they will need to announce at least two months ahead, meaning a tour start in September should be announced in July. I am sure they have more than just one covid-19 pandemic expert in the tour management, even more importan

If everyone was under 50 years old, and hunted deer and rabbits all day, I am sure nobody would worry about covid-19. We need to face reality, which is a world with many elderly people, average expected living age in the 80's many places, people surviving cancer, people on strong medication, people with overweight, all of that is part of the real world, and many are at risk, especially w

They are planning the shows and booking stadiums both for2021 and 2022. Still, they need to get rid of most of covid-19 and the madness related to the pandemic. You don't move into a burning building until the fire department have done their job. The Delta variant a.k.a. the India variant is just one example of why they need to do this sort of last minute, not months ahead.

The Rolling Stones have better lawyers than most of us. Sure they make sure they have a cut in anything they do within the show facilities, if it is within the contract reach, like sales, catering, merchandise etc. The tour is coming up, in USA this fall, that is a pretty safe bet.

I just don't understand those who resist taking the vaccine. In Norway there is just one discussion now : vaccine politics. Everybody do want the vaccine, it's just a matter of who should be first, or rather last, when everyone at risk, and everyone above age 65 have got their shots. Age, teachers, politicians, royalties, supreme court all of that. By the end of July they say most of th
