LONDON (AP) — You can't always get what you want — but if your desire is to attend a Rolling Stones concert this might be your lucky day.
The legendary band said Monday it would return to the stage this year with four concerts in Britain and the United States. The shows will take place on Nov. 25 and 29 at London's O2 Arena, followed by gigs on Dec. 13 and 15 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, just outside of New York.
The shows mark the first time in five years that the Stones have performed live, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood all coming together once more. The band said it was the "crowning glory" of celebrations marking its 50th anniversary of its first gig.

Clarification: the BAND is 50! The band members average over 100. :) Average age is actually about 69.
Steel Wheelchairs Tour.
I didn’t like them then, I don’t like them now...no ageism here.
A good long history of the band is here:

OK, I did kinda like “Honky Tonk Woman”.
Sorry to hear that. Not much I can do for you I guess.
all of these guys are classic examples of too much money given to the wrong people for far too long .
Put them out on the farm , growing and harvesting carrots
Shouldn’t this be their “Post Medicare” tour?
You probably like Springsteen, too. :{)
They are now as old as Perry Como was when he did his parodied “Still Alive” tour.
Sympathy for the Devil......one of my favorites
The “2000 Light Years Together” Tour.
Can’t stand Springsteen’s music (or his far out leftist politics). I don’t see how you can even relate the two.
I always like Rod Stewart and Small Faces version better...but I get your drift.
I met a gin-soaked barroom queen ... in uh,uh
oh yeah in Memphis
I am an elderly (their age) retired Rock musician and don’t really know how they can continue. I’m so bloody tired and burned out......I ain’t goin’ on stage. I even have nightmares about that.
Huzzah to the Stones. They’ve earned their accolades. So have I; I just don’t have a name that anyone knows. Oh well. Huzzah to ME too. Heh.
Here you go, aging hipsters! Give a bunch of drug addled geriatric perverts hundreds of your hard earned dollars and shake your flab and wrinkles to the coolest beat in the land.
Sheesh! Boomers self-indulgence never ends.
They seem similar too me, politics aside. Hard Rock and Roll with a bad singer...taste is a funny thing.
