The Rolling Stones have fuelled rumours that the band are planning a 50th anniversary tour for 2012.


All four members were pictured leaving a building in London yesterday (September 8). The rumours follow comments made by guitarist Keith Richards earlier this year.

Richards told the Sun the band wanted to perform to mark 50 years since their first gig, on July 12 1962.

"The idea is there. We kind of know we should do it, but nobody's put their finger on the moment yet," he said.

The Rolling Stones last tour, The Bigger Bang, concluded in 2007.

Richards’ comments come in the same week that he revealed he was working on a new X-Pensive Winos album.

Mick Jagger has also formed a super-group including Joss Stone and Damian Marley.
