The Rolling Stones‘ frontman Sir Mick Jagger has cancelled an appearance at a party being organised by UK Prime Minister David Cameron after news of his invitation caused much debate in the press.

Charlie Watts has expressed his hopes for a Rolling Stones tour this year as the legendary band prepares to celebrate its 50th year.

The Rolling Stones have released a new video for one of the until-now unheard tracks which comprise a part of the remastered version of their 1978 album ‘Some Girls‘.

Keith Richards has apparently opened the door for former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman to return to the band he left in the early Nineties, as the remaining members press on with rehearsal plans ahead of a possible 50th anniversary tour next year.

The US launch of internet giant Google’s new music service was marked yesterday (November 16th) with exclusive content from the likes of The Rolling Stones and Coldplay.

Keith Richards has revealed Ronnie Wood, Charlie Watts and himself are planning to meet up for a jam in the near future, but it remains unclear whether Mick Jagger is also up for some studio time with his Rolling Stones bandmates as rumours of a 50th anniversary tour continue.

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has moved to deny rumours his band will be a part of the opening ceremony at next year’s London Olympics, saying he was put off the idea after a conversation with a fellow *musician.

Jagger told the BBC listening to him recounting his own experience at a recent Winter Olympics was enough to firmly dissuade him from considering taking part in 2012.

The Rolling Stones are to issue a re-mastered, expanded edition of their 1978 album ‘Some Girls‘, following a similar re-release of ‘Exile On Main St.‘ last year.

The LP will now be available in digital, deluxe, and super deluxe versions, featuring previously unseen Stones pictures, a 7″ ‘Beast Of Burden‘ single, and liner notes by writer Anthony DeCurtis.

As MTV celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, here the Live4ever Ezine picks ten of our essential British music videos of all time to mark this significant occasion. While some pre-date the MTV revolution, they all represent the best of a medium which was transformed when the station launched back in 1981.

From the innovation of Queen‘s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody‘, to the playful nature of ‘Whatever‘ and ‘Bad Cover Version‘, via the emphasis on human emotion featured on ‘Just‘ and ‘Bittersweet Symphony‘, these videos chart the rise of the music promo from its basic state to the leading role it now plays in any band’s life. Yep, this particular anniversary is a good opportunity for those bands who have spent long hours in a TV studio perfecting their lip-syncing technique to raise a glass to the ripest fruits of their labour.

Marianne Faithful has revealed she doubts the veracity of elements of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards‘ autobiography Life – particularly the well publicised portions which refer to his often fractured relationship with Mick Jagger.

In an interview with Spinner, Faithful was asked whether the book constitutes an accurate portrayal of their history, to which she replied: “Not completely accurate, no, but I liked it very much. I don’t think accuracy really matters.”
