The Stones guitarist, Ronnie Wood, seems to be the source of the tour rumours. However, it’s not Wood himself who has been doing the talking, it’s his new girlfriend, Ekaterina Ivanova.
According to the young Russian woman, the rock veterans are planning to tour next year. A source revealed to Britain’s The Sun, "She’s not supposed to talk about it, things haven’t been finalised but she couldn’t resist telling a few friends."
The reports of a tour are still rumours, and haven’t been confirmed by any official member of the Stones camp.
The last time the Rolling Stones toured was in 2007. The performances were a huge success and brought in $500 million in ticket sales.
Today (November 26) marks the 40th anniversary of the release of the album Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out!, which was recorded at Madison Square Garden in New York. To commemorate the disc’s release, a deluxe edition box set will be available on November 30.
