NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Rolling Stones are
set to play a series of four concerts this coming November in New York and London,Billboard reported on
Thursday.
Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood, who this year are
celebrating the band's 50th anniversary,
will play two dates at London's
O2 arena and two at Brooklyn's new Barclays Center, which has yet to be
completed.
News of the shows comes
after the band members initially said they would not tour this year, then
hinted at upcoming gigs during a book launch and photography exhibit in London
last month marking their anniversary.
A spokeswoman for the band
was not immediately available for comment or confirmation.
A new documentary, announced
earlier this month in Los Angeles, also is in the works. Called "Crossfire
Hurricane" and directed by Brett Morgen, it promises new footage and
insights from the band and will open in cinemas in Britain before being
broadcast on the BBC and then HBO in the United States.
The Stones, who last toured in 2005-2007 with their top-grossing
"Bigger Bang" show, were formed in London in 1962 and are one of the
longest-performing rock bands in the world. They have sold an estimated 200
million records worldwide.
