Automatic translation. Read the Russian original
The Rolling Stones have cancelled their massive European tour scheduled for 2026 due to Keith Richards' reluctance to tour. Although there has been no official announcement, Chuck Livell, the band's pianist, has previously announced preparations for a tour of the UK and European cities, while pointing to the completion of the recording of the new album. However, 82-year-old Richards, who suffers from arthritis, said that he is not ready for the physical exertion of the next tour, given his health problems that have affected his style of play. Despite the cancellation of the tour, the band continues to work on new material under the guidance of 35-year-old producer Andrew Watt, who, according to Jagger and Richards, brought fresh energy to the band, especially after the release in 2023 of the album “Hackney Diamonds”.
