Keith Richards has suggested at least one way fans could see The Rolling Stones perform live once more, and it doesn’t involve stadium performances, even though a The Rolling Stones tour still seems doubtful, as per UCR. On July 10, the rock icons’ 25th studio album, “Foreign Tongues”, will be released. The guitarist swiftly dashed fans’ expectations of a 2026 Stones tour during a May press conference in New York City promoting the new album. In the New York office of his manager, Richards talked candidly about what could be feasible, acknowledging that “some wear and tear” contributes to his emotions.
Oh, I mean, we can talk next year, aAt the moment, we’re just sort of saying we finished the record, let’s do this. Not this year anyway. I don’t know if tours are possible, it’s the travelling that takes it out of you. But I do see the possibility of us doing a residency somewhere. Wherever it is, London, New York, Paris, anywhere, I’ll play Rome! But I don’t see why they shouldn’t be able to throw some shows together in a new format.
