After Charlie Watts has decleared early this week, after considering David Bowie not so much as an artist, thath he " wouldn't mind if the Stones would split"
Now Jagger has said that calling it quits isn’t currently on his agenda. But the legendary frontman dismissed the perpetual speculation that these concerts could be, to borrow the title of their 1965 No. 1 hit single, The Last Time. In his only Scottish interview, Jagger, who will celebrate his 75th birthday in July, brushed off any suggestion it’s time for the Stones to finally stop rolling.
“I haven’t really thought about this set of gigs being our last tour, to be honest,” Jagger told The Sunday Post.
“There is going to come a point when we don’t want to do it any more, for whatever reason – but I’m not thinking about that this summer not yet but soon.”
“We play quite a long show – sometimes two hours and 15 minutes – so you’ve gotta conserve some sort of energy.“It’s like sport. You don’t go 100% all the time. It may appear you are, but you’re not.“At the end, you feel OK, you’re not gonna lie flat on your back, that wouldn’t be a good ending.(Sundaypost)
Recently Watts said to NME : “I’ve thought that the band might stop a lot of times. I used to think that at the end of every tour. I’d had enough of it – that was it. But no, not really. I hope [when it ends] that everyone says, ‘that’ll be it’. I’d hate for it to be a bloody big argument. That would be a real sad moment. But to say this is the last show wouldn’t be a particularly sad moment, not to me anyway. I’ll just carry on as I was yesterday or today.”
“I think if Mick or Keith retired then it would be. But they could get another drummer, another guitar player. If Daryl didn’t want to do it anymore we’d have a nightmare finding another bass player but Mick and Keith would or could carry on.
He said: “It was crazy. Somebody said to me the other day, ‘It must be hard playing shows now at your age’.
“But when we were young we never got to the end of a show. We’d do like 20 minutes, and it would be so chaotic we’d have to go off.
