(photos,a Lot)--The Rolling Stones rock Perth as '14 on Fire' tour continues in Australia

On Oct. 29, 2014, the Rolling Stones' "14 on Fire" tour continued in Australia with a concert at the Perth Arena in Perth. (See the concert's set list at the end of this article.) On Oct. 25, 2014, the Rolling Stones launched the Australian leg of their "14 on Fire" tour, with a sold-out concert at the Oval Arena in Adelaide, Australia. According to an announcement on the Rolling Stones' official website: "During the encore a man ran onto the stage, but the security guards tackled him and he was escorted off the premises. Mick [Jagger] quipped, 'All part of the act, some Aussies Rules tackling!'" (See the concert's set list at the end of this article.)
Two days before the concert, the Rolling Stones gathered at the Oval for a photo shoot.
On Oct. 15, 2014, the Rolling Stones announced that their longtime saxophonist Bobby Keys will be unable to perform on the Australian/New Zealand leg of their "14 on Fire" tour due to undisclosed health reasons. Keys will be replaced by Karl Denson on the concert dates, which run from Oct. 25 to Nov. 22, 2014.
Keys has been recording and touring with the Rolling Stones since 1969, except for the Stones' 1976 tour. He is a close friend of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards; the two men share the same birthday (Dec. 18, 1943).

On May 26, 2014 in Oslo, Norway, the Rolling Stones gave their first concert since the death of L'Wren Scott, who was Mick Jagger's girlfriend since 2001. Scott committed suicide in her New York City apartment on March 17, 2014. She was found hanged from a doorknob. The Rolling Stones' "14 on Fire" tour of 2014 went on hiatus after Scott's death. The tour resumed in Oslo, Norway at Telenor Arena on May 26.
As previously reported, the Rolling Stones' "14 on Fire" tour dates in Australia and New Zealand were postponed because of Scott's death. The concerts in Australia and New Zealand were originally supposed to take place from March 19 to April 5, 2014. The Rolling Stones have since announced the rescheduled concerts in Australia and New Zealand for their "14 on Fire" tour.
On July 3, 2014, the Rolling Stones ended the European leg of their "14 on Fire" tour at the Roskilde Festival in Roskilde, Denmark.
Critics' reviews of the tour have been mostly positive.
Former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor, who was a special guest on the Rolling Stones' "50 and Counting" concerts in 2012 and 2013, has been a special guest on the Rolling Stones "14 on Fire" tour.
The Rolling Stones are reportedly contemplating touring South America in 2015. According to the Peruvian newspaper La Republica, the tour will likely go to Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Chile. The tour dates in South America have not yet been officially announced. The Rolling Stones previously performed in South America in February 2006, as part of the "A Bigger Bang" world tour.
