NME quoted Keith Richards as saying:
“Sorry to keep you all hanging around, but the waiting is over.”
He added:
“I’ve always said the best place for rock and roll is on being on stage with the Stones and this year is very special. Looking forward to rehearsing with Mick and Ronnie and some friends, the wheels are in motion. See you all very soon.”
Earlier this week, the band teased their tour to the UK and Europe through an Instagram post captioned, “Can’t you hear me knocking?” The post showed a map of the UK and Europe dotted with the Rolling Stones logo.
In August last year, the long-time drummer of The Rolling Stones, Charlie Watts, passed away at the age of 80, prompting a large number of tributes. The remaining band members dedicated their first show of 2021 to Watts. Currently, Steve Jordan is the band’s permanent tour member.
