Keith Richards says The Rolling Stones could keep going for another ten years at least following the band’s headline set at Glastonbury Festival last night (June 29).
The rock legends returned to the live stage at the end of last year to celebrate their 50th anniversary and had such a good time they decided to keep going. They’re currently touring the world on their extended 50 & Counting tour, but following their first ever Glastonbury appearance there’s already talk among the band mates of a 60th anniversary celebration.
Speaking with Classic Rock magazine Richards said: “I’ve been hooked on everything once or twice in my life. The one thing I can’t kick is playing with The Rolling Stones. All these zeros that keep zooming by... 30, 40, 50 years. I don’t really see any reason why their shouldn’t be a 60th. Either that or we croak on the job.”
Last night saw the Stones make their long awaited debut on a Glastonbury stage as they closed the day with an impressive set on the Pyramid Stage.

“You all look amazing,” Jagger told the audience.
“After all these years they finally got around to asking us. Thank you Michael [Eavis].”
The band finished their set with a performance of ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’ as red ticker tape fell on the crowd.
But ahead of the Saturday night set the band had said they were slightly apprehensive about the performance, an hour of which was broadcast to people at home by the BBC.
