In the paper today it says that the Stones is on their way into the studio (same story as Ronnie has told), but also that the Stones's 2012 tour is postponed to 2013 because of Keith's throat problems... (in norwegian only).

I never heard about this, anyone who knows?

I have been always certain that some day this band would include Verdi in the setlist...

Now this is an evidence that Verdi will play a role.

I hope Keith will be ready. La donna è mobile is a hard one.

The problem is and will be the headinjury and the arthritis.

Never hear about any throat problems. But it makes sense that there is some acute reason why the possible set of concerts - "tour" - was postponed. I don't beleeve the "counting started when Charlie joined in" crap at all. There needs to be some serious reasons why they missed the big year. Okay, we will get the documentary and other "lovely things" but for a band that pretends to still exist that's not enough...

I agree with Doxa, and I seriously doubt there will ever be a tour

If I were part of the band I would consider doing a +/- 30 min special for the Olympics of course if every band member can be in a good-enough shape for making it possible.
This would be a short set, after long, but cool rehearsals, playing about 10 songs in a Worldwide broadcast for the 50th and then call it quits.

The band would feature MT and BW.

Suggestions in no particular order :
HTW
Satisfaction
Little Red Rooster
a Chuck Berry Cover
Miss You
Angie
Start Me Up
Brown Sugar
Gimme Shelter
Time Waits For No One

Then MT is a must-be. Who should soloing otherwise?

Another idea :
A tribute concert with many bands and one or more Stones participating on one song or another + 1 song with all the bands and then 2 final songs 100% Rolling Stones without guests.

And Keith, Ronnie, Charlie, Mick sitting in wheelchairs on the stage looking how they could sound if they are able to hold their instruments in hands? Oh no, mate, that is no good idea!

I quite like this idea, it would be similar to what Dylan did - a whole show with top artists playing his songs and then him coming on for the last 5 or 6 numbers. What better way to celebrate the legacy they have left to both young and old artists all over the world. Hold the show in London, film it out across the world like the Copa Cabana gig. Sell the dvd and cd's and you have covered all angles.

The first 500 tickets go to IORR and let BV decide how to administrate them etc....put me down for 4 BV !



'some things, well, I can't refuse'

So-----HAS anyone heard or read anything about throat problems?

Seems it would be almost worth a call or email to the author of the Norwegian piece linked to above.

EDITED: done -- I contacted the author and asked whether this is conjecture or does she have a source for this info (Dandelion, I cc:d you on the email)

Missed the "Big Year"? The "Big Year" (Anniversary Year) runs from July 12, 2012 through July 11, 2013. True, there will be lots of "lovely things" and those "lovely things" will include new tunes and at least a few live performances, if not a small scale tour. Good enough?

Thanks, Swiss. Will be interesting to see what kind of sources she has for this...

I guess this a translation error. Health in Norwegian is helse, but throat is hals. Translating an English article "health problem" has turned into "halsproblem"(throat).

nah - a news-regurgitator writer making a 2-letter error in haste,
and/or not noticing that a spellchecker screwed up, wouldn't be unusual at all.
that Rolling Stone article referred to rumours (probably from iorr!) about health problems
so thanks Beaver for sorting out the misinformation

I'm norwegian - and a journalist

It would be a MAJOR error if a journalist in Norway mistook health for throat, indeed

okay Dandelion P, i am not here to argue with you, but you know the world of news reporting
is populated by a lot of types who don't qualify as journalists (at least as i define the term!)
that's why i used a different word for the kind of writer who could easily make this kind of mistake.
yeah it's a major error for a journalist, but it sounds pretty likely for a hurried hack
(and not anywhere near as major as reporting that someone was "OD'ing on alcohol" when they weren't ... just for example! :E)

A Keith 'health problem' is quite probably worse than a Keith 'throat problem'.

I daresay a silent majority would still go to shows even if we didn't get the mandatory 2-3 song Keith bathroom break.

IF the reporting is even accurate, a 'health problem' could run an entire gamut of potential problems....starting with arthritic hands, which won't improve with time.

Probably the significant thing is that no other source appears to have picked up on this or be echoing it across the Internet - which I think would have happened by now if there was any substance to the "throat" problem.

it sort of sounds like you missed this: [www.rollingstone.com]
(and as noted above, the source of that speculation could well be an iorr thread or three)

until further notice, i bet this Norwegian "news" is a mistranslation/typo, as Beaver proposed above.
i understand that that would be a major error, as the good Dandelion P says - major as in seriously embarrassing -
but it sure seems like a very easy mistake to make, especially when you're in a hurry and/or aren't sure which one is Keith :E

major errors that someone had to put considerable effort into, like - er, never mind ]

I have known since the end of the last tour that there would be some form of tour for the 50th. No Brag, Just Fact.

Yes I did read that when it came out but it points to Keith's health as 'one of the reasons' for a tour defer and isn't actually specific as to the health issue...no named quotes exist either.

I'm not saying there isn't a health issue...just look at his hands. We're getting more misinformation than information at this point though, IMHO.

No thanks. Even if they could pull it off, it reeks of tackiness and super-self-serving. Then again we are talking about a "band" that has been celebrating anniversaries of this and that for ten years straight.

I'd be Happy with another "Stipped"-style thing with Mick T and Bill.But I honestly don't think they're able to give as that anymore.

hi -- I just got an email from the author of the Norwegian article
that said Keith has "throat problems."

She confirmed: "due to a mistranslation 'helse' became 'hals'."
