Rolling Stones camp denies Adele will join band at Hyde Park
No expectations …
British singer Adele performs at the Oscars ceremony. But will she join
the Rolling Stones at Hyde Park?********************************************
The Rolling Stones' camp has denied Adele will join the band on stage for their London shows in Hyde Park next month. The Sun had quoted "a source"
as saying: "At the minute it's 50/50 that she'll do it, but Mick is
quietly confident he can pull it off." However, when asked if there was
any truth in the story, the Stones' publicist offered a one-word reply:
"No." Adele's publicist was less forthright, saying: "I have no comment
on their story."
Nevertheless, it would be reasonable to expect special guests to be taking to the stage at Hyde Park. Throughout their current tour – and throughout their history – the Stones have invited other artists to perform with them. In recent months, Florence Welch, Mark J Blige, Sheryl Crow, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, the Black Keys, Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen and Dave Grohl have been among the artists joining them under the lights, while in the past the likes of AC/DC and Stevie Wonder have performed with the veteran rockers.
At all the band's shows on the 50 & Counting tour this year, they've been joined by their former guitarist Mick Taylor, whose appearance for Midnight Rambler was counted as one of the highlights of their shows at the O2 in London last November. Although their set has been changing every night, there have been certain constants: the gig always opens with their 1965 hit Get Off of My Cloud and finishes with a three-song encore of You Can't Always Get What You Want, Jumping Jack Flash and (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.
The Stones' Hyde Park shows take place on 6 and 13 July, with tickets starting from £95 plus booking fee for general admission. Among the other acts playing across four stages will be the Vaccines, the Temper Trap, Palma Violets and Tribes.
