Rolling Stones Set For Big Payday For Next Tour
(7/26/01, 3 p.m. ET) -- There is no truth to the stories floating around that the Rolling Stones have been told another major tour would be a money loser, according to the band's spokesperson. Published stories out of London, New York, and Los Angeles recently have quoted "insiders" as saying the Stones won't hit the road next year because they've been told it would be a disaster financially. However, Michael Cohl, who was tour director and promoter for the last four Stones treks, said, "In a recent meeting with the Rolling Stones, I advised them that their tour would be a great success."
The Stones have held meetings regarding their plans for next year, but no firm decisions have been made. It should be noted, though, that the 40th anniversary of the band's first show (as the Rollin' Stones) is July 12, 2002.

I can't wait to see them in concert. I can't wait to see if Keith and Ronnie use any new guitars or pull out guitars they hadn't used in a long time. |

From today's Montreal Gazzette:
July 29, 2001
"What a drag it is getting old" dept.: The Rolling Stones have been told
to forget the idea of a 40th-anniversary world tour, the New York Post
reports. Promoters around the globe have said they can't sell out big
halls for the wrinkly rockers. One promoter - no names given - says
Mick'n'the boys 'could be faced with the embarrassment of a lot of
empty seats if they mount a monster tour.' Another says: 'Kids are into
rap, boy bands and little-girl acts. Madonna and U2 are the only mature
acts that can guarantee SRO (standing-room only).'
Isn't it comforting to see newspapers automatically printing nonsense that has already been refuted? And they wonder why their sales are down. Who wants yesterday's papers?
