Keith Richards on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon'; second Hyde Park show added
On April 8, 2013 (or technically in the early-morning hours of April 9, 2013), Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards will be a guest on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." The episode will be televised in the U.S. on NBC at 12:35 a.m. EDT/PDT.
One of the topics of the interview will no doubt be the Rolling Stones' 2013 tour, which has been selling out dates but also adding dates. On April 8, 2013, the Rolling Stones added a second show at Hyde Park in London: The concert will be on July 13, 2013, and general (non-VIP) tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. BST on April 12, 2013.
In addition, April 19, 2013 has now been announced as the general (non-VIP) ticket on-sale date for the Rolling Stones' concert at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 11, 2013.
Richards was previously on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" in May 2011 to promote his role in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides."
As previously reported, the Rolling Stones have announced several concerts so far for 2013: a North American tour of indoor arenas, as well as massive outdoor shows in England. Mick Taylor, who was the Rolling Stones' lead guitarist from 1969 to 1974, will be a special guest at all of the concerts.
Due to popular demand, the Rolling Stones are adding dates to their 2013 tour. On April 5, 2013, the band announced three more concerts: May 31 and June 3 at the United Center in Chicago and June 6 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. More tour dates are expected to be added and will be announced on the Rolling Stones' official Internet outlets, such as their website, Facebook page and Twitter account.
