Mick Jagger has shown a flair for drama that has earned him a reputation as the PT Barnum of Rock & Roll. Staging the Rock & Roll Circus in 1969, announcing a mid-70's Stones tour while the band played on a flat-bed rolling down 5th Avenue in New York... the Stones have seldom missed an opportunity to do something over-the-top to draw the world's attention to their next escapade. We will expect no less if suggestions that the band is preparing a final tour before retiring from the road prove valid. Reports that the Stones are in cahoots with Live Nation for a massive two year farewell tour that will kick-off in 2012. If true, the global jaunt is sure to shatter results for the legendary band's last world tour. The Bigger Bang tour, which also ran for about 2 years, brought in more than a half a billion dollars.
