NEW YORK (Q104.3) 24 May 2011 - The Rolling Stones played their first-ever gig at London's Marquee Club on July 12, 1962, and Keith Richards says they might celebrate their upcoming 50th anniversary in a big way.
While promoting Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Richards revealed he and the boys have discussed releasing a new album and going on a world tour next year.
"Something's blowing in the wind," Richards told USA Today. "The idea's there. We kind of know we should do it, but nobody's put their finger on the moment yet. This is what we have to ask each other: Do we want to go out in a blaze of glory? We can, if Mick and Charlie (Watts) feel like I do, that we can still turn people on. We don't have to prove nothing anymore. I just love playing, and I miss the crowd."
Rolling Stones tours have always attracted huge crowds. Until recently, their Bigger Bang trek was the highest-grossing tour of all time, grossing $558 million. The record was recently broken by U2's 360 tour, which is still going on and is expected to gross $700 million.
FREAKIN' AWESOME! CAN'T WAIT! I HOPE IT HAPPENS!!!
