<p>I don't think there will be anymore major tours from the Stones after their shows in the U. S. & ending at Hyde Park to be honest. Keith has got a new solo album coming out soon, Charlie's got his jazz band, Ronnie's got his own band & Jagger is producing a movie about Elvis. It's been 50 years of rocking & rolling but I'm not expecting another fifty more by a long shot. I have heard they might do some live shows next year, I hope they do, if they don't do anything, it's…</p>

<p>Barry you are a true fan.. hahaha - I sure hope it doesn't finish them off.. I would hate to be disappointed and would rather remember them as they were back in the day ;) </p>

<p>Yeah I'm not opposed to bands continuing to play cos that is what they love doing, (I would think their music and lyrics wouldn't be any good at all if they didn't!) just so long as their performances don't suffer because of their age/health etc. I admit The Rollers seem to be good for a few more years yet, but wonder if, as you yourself suggest, they would benefit from adjusting their repertoire to a more - not slow, but say, intense, gutsey,…</p>

I'd hate to see Mick's voice become like Ian Anderson's of Jethro Tull! I went to see his Thick As A Brick 2 concert and was shocked to hear just how bad it is! (I don't know, I might be talking a load of poo!) </p>
<p>I wonder how their appearance at this year's Glastonbury will turn out. \m/</p>

<p>I read somewhere once that Keith said he would die on stage, and that would be when he stopped touring! I would go if they were 100 and still standing up!</p>

<p>I think they need to change things up a bit and do things that are more age appropriate.. If they are doing what they love I don't see any reason for them to retire. When I saw them perform the last time I was disappointed. I am sure someone else would have a different opinion of the show. I have seen them live and they were amazing back in the late 80's. btw this is great discussion Linda !!</p>

<p>Brian Jones was my favorite Rolling Stone back in the Sixties. He was such a talented musician and played all sorts of instruments. After he left/passed away the Stones' music definitely changed. That was such a long time ago and Mick & Keith had become the band's leaders. Who knows if they should retire?? It's up to them!</p>
