Rolling Stones: ‘We’ll Never Stop Touring’

Band end two year world tour…

Share

The Rolling Stones concluded their two year world tour in London on Sunday (August 26th) with guitarist Ronnie Wood stating that they’ll “never stop” touring.

Despite ongoing speculation that the band’s performance at the O2 Arena – formerly the Millennium Dome – would be their final curtain call, the band are remaining defiant.

Wood told the Sun: “We need a rest but of course we will tour again. We’ll never stop!”

The Bigger Bang tour began in Boston, America on August 21st 2005 and has since become one of the most successful tours in history.

The band’s North American shows alone grossed over $300 million with 2.2 million American’s turning out to watch the performances.

  • Why would they stop? Would be silly really really as so many people of all ages still want to see them perform. This tour was magic, rip-roaring stuff.

  • How about another large tour with a huge stage mixing in designs from past tours such as Steel Wheels, Voodoo Lounge, and Bridges to Babylon Tours? Now that would be flippin amazing! Just call it ’The Keep Rollin’ World Tour 2008/2009...
