You have to believe it since it comes from Keith Richards himself! The Rolling Stones are apparently back in action, since the famous guitarist has declared, in an upcoming interview with Q magazine (which will only be out on October 30th) that the band has currently started rehearsing and has already booked some shows:
‘We've got some shows in London, I believe, and in New York, but I really can't talk about any of that at the moment. They've put the gag on me on this. You can hint!’
Really? He can’t talk about it? I think it’s a little too late Keith! And after a week of rehearsal, he is rather optimistic, since he added:
'Everybody relies upon their instincts, especially once you start working regularly together again. Because it pulls all the bits and pieces together, which when you're not working and playing with the guys, dissipates, obviously; you're not having that immediate contact. But kind of two days of hanging around with the guys again, a certain demon energy takes over and you wonder where it's coming from!'
So the rumors were true after all. I know they are not the only septuagenarians to tour but honestly, if you are a fan, do you really want to see this? And for how long? And better question, for how much?
