Rolling Stones head for Europe, US
Friday, April 11, 2003 (Mumbai):
Nearly 90 per cent of the 120-members of the popular band, Rolling Stones, today headed for different parts of the globe after being stranded in the Metropolis for over 12 hours.
The Rolling Stones, who were to leave India last night for Bangkok, were forced to return to the Taj Hotel after their chartered Malaysian Airlines flight was delayed due to a technical snag.
The band had performed in Mumbai on Monday and were scheduled to perform in the Thai capital, which was the last leg of their world tour. However, the SARS scare had forced the British band to drop their Bangkok concert.
The British band had already cancelled concerts in Hong Kong and mainland China over concerns of SARS sweeping parts of the globe.
According to reports from Bangkok, Mick Jagger had arrived in the Thai capital to shoot segments for a Rolling Stones documentary film, while the rest of the band and their production crew were to have flown from Mumbai to Bangkok yesterday.
However, the rest of the band found themselves stranded in Mumbai last night after their chartered plane allegedly developed a technical snag.
Today, most of the members of the band, which had been stranded, left the hotel and are bound for different destinations, including US, UK and various parts of Europe.
The final European leg of the band's tour is scheduled to start at Munich in June. (PTI) |

No, not quite good news... they're dispersing, not getting together. I miss the days when they could just show up at each other's houses... nowadays they live in three different countries (more if you count secondary residences etc.). It seems their most creative periods where when they couldn't get away from each other (Exile sessions, The month at Ronnie's that produced both It's Only Rock'n'Roll and I've Got My Own Album To Do, Keith's bust and so on).
They need to lock 'em in the kitchen again!

They always say themselves one of the reasons for being together this long is that they don't see much of eachother in between tours and in tour breaks...they all being together has been a very long long time ago, as you pointed out yourself Xyzzy. It's good for them to take separate breaks and refuel in their own ways. Then they can come together refreshed in the last weeks of May to do rehearsals, in Amsterdam of course
BTW, the article now says Bangkok is cancelled due to SARS? Sigh, solid research and reporting ey? |

Seems quite healthy to me. I would go crazy if I had to see my collegues each day even if their names were Jagger, Richards, Watts or Wood. But I am very happy they're moving to Europe. Let the show begin! Can't wait... |

The word "final" is not getting my day off on the right..err dare I say...leg. I will continue to pray that they return to the States after they finish the European leg.
I half prayed......that you'd stay..... |

Thanks CS for posting this.
I find several discrepencies within this article
1. Writer notes Thailand cancelled because of SARS-
Stones press release cites aircraft mechanical
problems. Jagger has gone to Thailand by himself
to film parts of a documentary, would he go if SARS
was a risk?
2. Writer mentions that Thailand was the last leg of
their current tour. Then he goes on to mention about
the upcoming European leg of their tour. WTF?
IMHSO (In My Humble Stones Opinion) The Band could wrap China, Bangkok, more shows in India (where they are already asking for more) along with New Zealand with a Stateside presence in late '03 or '04. Do not let this writer and his inaccuracies bother you. Irresponsible press writings without sourcing out the truth.
Must be my daily Rumsfeld briefings coming out of me...
After all, they need to end the tour, where else?
BEANTOWN!!!!!
Sergei, please send us some guidance, please.....

Miles Davis! Great song! Kind of blue but also Miles and Coltrane , Konserthuset, Stockholm, March 22, 1960. Listen to that great piano solo by Winton Kelly. Chuck could learn something from that one! |
