Following the success of The Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary concerts at the O2 Arena and in the US, Mick Jagger has hinted at the possibility of a full scale tour later in 2013.

During an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the iconic frontman fuelled rumours of forthcoming concerts with his comment, "There have been quite a few offers. I'm going to see what's on the table and discuss it with everyone."

Future Rolling Stones performances seemed like a promising prospect when Jagger added, 'We'll announce it when we've figured it out.'

Those who attended the 50th anniversary shows in London witnessed a reunion between former bandmates Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor for the first time in years.

Keith Richards was equally as keen to regroup with his bandmates for more shows, saying 'Really, all you're going to have to do is wait for an announcement. [The anniversary] was like a dream, at the same speed, man. But we barely got off the starting blocks.'

The Rolling Stones guitarist added, 'It would be dopey to bring things up to this level and say, 'Well, that's that, 50 years, bye-bye.'

The band were joined by Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, Lady GaGa and Florence & The Machine at their 50th anniversary concerts where they played to 20,000 fans.
