The Rolling Stones are booked to play two shows in November, according to the band's saxophonist.
The Rolling Stones have long been rumoured to be planning a number of new live shows, but this week Keith Richards confirmed plans to perform in New York and London. Now, sax player Bobby Keys has revealed the band will perform a pair of shows in London before the end of 2012.
Speaking to Billboard, Keys says The Rolling Stones were: "Gonna do some more concerts, starting in November with two in England and then a couple here in the States, then there's a few added concerts after that."
"Keith told me a couple months ago there was something in the wind and just be ready to go. I'm waiting for them to send me the plane ticket and the information, and then I'll go."
British website Record Of The Day has reportedly named the dates as 25 and 29 November.
Speaking to Q magazine this month, Keith Richards initially let slip the band's live plans, saying: "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!"
The band are due to premiere a new single, 'Doom & Gloom' tomorrow (11 October, 2012) at 8:15am on Radio 2.
