Rolling Stones delay 50th anniversary tour till 2013

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Rolling Stones won't be rolling into a town near you this year. The group has nixed plans to hit the road in celebration of its 50th anniversary, instead aiming for 2013, The Wrap reported.

"Basically, we're just not ready," the group's guitarist, Keith Richards, told the Rolling Stone magazine. Rescheduling the tour for next year, Richards added, seems "more realistic."

Multiple sources tell the magazine that Richards' health is at the center of the postponement. The ax-slinger is reportedly still getting back into form after falling out of a tree and injuring himself in 2006 in Fiji, while taking a break from the group's A Bigger Bang tour.
