The Rolling Stones may have a combined age of more than 250 years, but they’ve still got ‘it’.
Tickets for the next step of their European tour scheduled for Wednesday in Madrid, sold out in just 11 hours.
But sales of the 54,000 tickets for the gig at the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid were relatively slow. It took just eight minutes to sell out in Berlin, 13 in Oslo and 51 minutes to achieve the same in Paris.
The “14 on Tour” was tragically interrupted by the suicide of Mick Jagger’s girlfriend L’Wren Scott earlier this year.
Audiences are expected to total up to 756,000 for what has been widely speculated to be the last chance to see the band live. Lead singer Mick Jagger and his band mates Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts obviously still have what it takes to draw the crowds.
They are officially the oldest rock band in history, introduced to the world in 1962, they celebrated 50 years on the go two years ago. Very few people are unable to name at least one of their songs and their fans span several generations.
For this current tour the Strolling Bones, as they have been nicknamed, will have appeared in 21 countries.
