Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary

Many people have been celebrating 2012 as the anniversary of the formation of the legendary rock band the Rolling Stones. Rumor has it that plans for a 2012 50th Anniversary World Tour have been put on hold due to a band member’s health concerns. Before you get too disappointed, there is hope, according to Rolling Stone magazine, that a 2013 tour will be launched to celebrate the date the Stones consider to be the real 50th anniversary. Keith Richards commented in a recent Rolling Stone magazine article: "The Stones always really considered '63 to be 50 years, because Charlie [Watts] didn't actually join until January," Richards says. "We look upon 2012 as sort of the year of conception, but the birth is next year.”
