Keith Richards says the Stones might do a residency rather than tour
“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 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. (…) Is it still exciting? Yeah, it’ll be exciting until something inside me says, ‘That’s that.’ I love working with the guys. I mean, what am I gonna do? Jesus Christ. It’s necessary for me – at gunpoint, if needs be – to keep a band together. ‘You will play drums!’ I do my bit, but it’s an incredible gift from everybody else. I didn’t expect this in return. It’s still a bit mind boggling, even at this age,” he said.
Ronnie Wood, who recently announced a solo tour for 2026, also talked about the band playing live: “We’re not getting any younger. None of us are getting out here alive. We all come from the same spirit. We all come from the Earth. We’re all connected, which is so lovely to think about,” he told UNCUT.
