Overview
- Multiple outlets, including The Sun and Variety, report that plans for a 2026 stadium run in the U.K. and Europe have been dropped after Keith Richards told the band he could not commit to the schedule.
- Sources link Richards’ stance to age and longstanding arthritis, noting his reluctance to undertake a roughly four‑month stadium itinerary.
- The band has not issued a formal announcement on its official channels, though a spokesperson acknowledged prior tour discussions that did not come together.
- Studio work continues as producer Andrew Watt collaborates with the group, and Ronnie Wood has indicated a new album is completed for release next year.
- Had it proceeded, the tour would have been their first since the 2024 U.S. Hackney Diamonds trek, which sold about 1 million tickets and grossed an estimated $235 million.
