Keith Richards hopes The Rolling Stones will be still going strong enough in 2022 to celebrate their 60th anniversary.
The Stones embarked on their 50 And Counting golden anniversary tour late last year after a lengthy break from live action, and are due to arrive back in the UK at the end of this month for a headline spot at Glastonbury.
And, while speaking to Classic Rock magazine, Richards has already been looking ahead ten years when he hopes the band will be able to mark another landmark milestone.
“I’ve been hooked on everything once or twice in my life,” he told the magazine. “But the one thing I can’t kick is playing with the Rolling Stones.”
“The 60th, you know, that’s a little while away yet, but all these zeros keep zooming by – 30, 40, 50 years. I don’t see any reason why there shouldn’t be a 60th. Either that or we ‘croak’ on the job!”
