The Rolling Stones next world tour, planned to start later this year, is
mentioned in a legal battle between Michael Cohl and his previous company Live
Nation. See details in the Hollywood Reporter about Live Nation and Ex-Chairman
Michael Cohl at War Over Rolling Stones Tour, and the IORR Tell Me forum pages.
The Rolling Stones have today announde the following statement: "In light of
recent reports surrounding the 'Breach of Contract' Court Case in America
between Live Nation Entertainment and former Live Nation chairman Michael Cohl,
The Rolling Stones wish to clarify their position regarding representation and
touring. Following the end of the 2007 A Bigger Bang world tour, The Rolling
Stones became free from any contractual arrangements or agreements with Michael
Cohl. He is neither their representative nor their tour promoter. Also the
Stones confirmed today they have no firm plans to tour at this time." Reading
between lines this means the tour will not happen until later this year or next
year, when the Rolling Stones 50th anniversary is due. See the concert industry
