Hmmmm! An intriguing post by BV. And interesting that the reason for the reschedule cannot be shared. It would be very easy to read all kinds of meanings into what has been posted. However, out of respect for his request, I shall refrain from picking out key words and phrases from what BV has posted. Nevertheless I do think it is far from certain that the tour will be rescheduled anytime soon

QuoteIrix QuoteGerardHennessy A few tracks that have been lying about for years that Mick will have updated. Maybe a couple of tracks on which Keith will have overdubbed a few licks. If it's that easy, why took the new studio album then almost 18 years? I'm not saying it was easy. I'm saying it will probably be cobbled together. As such it might even require more work rath

Quotelem motlow It’s not a matter of just putting out an album but putting out something that belongs in the catalog. Think of it like this, in 1989 a new band comes on the scene called The Rolling Stones with their first album Steel Wheels. Then they put out Voodoo Lounge, Bridges to Babylon and A Bigger Bang. Good not great. If they kept putting out records like that their legacy would be
