Rolling Stones rumored to be in 'secret' rehearsals in Weehawken, New Jersey
Even though the Rolling Stones announced that they will not be touring in 2012 for the band's 50th anniversary,
there are still rumors that the Stones will do at least one live
performance in 2012. Several fan sites are reporting that the Rolling
Stones have been rehearsing in a studio in Weehawken, New Jersey, from
late April 2012 to early May 2012. At the rehearsals, Rolling Stones
producer Don Was has reportedly been filling in on bass for Darryl Jones
while Jones is performing in Europe.
Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood retracted an announcement that he made to the media that the Rolling Stones would be gathering in a studio at the end of April 2012. Perhaps Wood's statement was true after all, and the band told Wood to retract the announcement because they wanted to keep the rehearsals a secret.
In addition to speculation that the Rolling Stones are rehearsing for a concert, there has been speculation that the band may be in the rehearsal studio to film something for the Rolling Stones 50th anniversary documentary, which will be released sometime in September 2012. The movie's title and release date are to be announced.
The rumored rehearsals in Weehawken aren't the only recent Rolling Stones activity in the New York City area.
Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger is set to be the host and musical guest on "Saturday Night Live" on May 19, 2012.
Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts will perform eight sets with his other band the A, B, C & D of Boogie Woogie from June 29 to July 2, 2012, and with the Les Paul Trio on July 2, 2012, at the Iridium Jazz Club in New York City.
Former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor is scheduled to perform at Iridium Jazz Club from May 9 to May 14, 2012.
Rolling Stones backup singer Bernard Fowler has a solo gig at Sullivan Hall in New York City on May 18, 2012. Alexandra Richards (the youngest child of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards) is the DJ at this show, so fans have been speculating that Keith Richards might be at the show too.
The Rolling Stones have not done a public concert since 2007, at the end of the tour for "A Bigger Bang." The band's most recent public appearances were in 2008, when the Rolling Stones promoted the Rolling Stones concert documentary film "Shine a Light" at media events and premieres in Berlin, New York City and London.
In May 2010, Jagger, Richards and Watts attended a party in New York City to celebrate the remastered reissue of the Rolling Stones 1972 album "Exile on Main Street," but Wood did not attend the party since he was not a member of the Rolling Stones when the band recorded "Exile on Main Street."
