The Rolling Stones May Never Tour Again Amid Shelved Plans, Keith Richards ‘Just Can’t Do It Anymore’
The Rolling Stones have quietly shelved plans for a 2026 U.K. and European tour — and insiders say this time, it’s not a pause, it’s a goodbye, sources tell Straight Shuter.
“Keith [Richards] just can’t do it anymore,” one source dishes. “The road is over.” Now 82, he struggles with the physical grind of life on tour, while Mick Jagger, 82, continues to defy gravity. But even legends have limits, especially given how athletic, relentless and demanding their shows are.
“They don’t need to go city to city anymore,” an insider tells Straight Shuter. “If fans want the Stones, they’ll have to come to them.”
Residencies are now on the table — long-term stays at major venues like London’s O2 or Las Vegas, with lighter schedules, less travel and maximum comfort.
