The Rolling Stones have decided they won’t be joining Paul McCartney, Blur, and other UK bands playing at the London Olympics. Mick Jagger says: “I didn’t think, to be honest, we were quite stage ready, We haven’t played in a long time and we weren’t really stage-ready, and it’s a very big gig and it’s very risk-taking. I didn’t think the band themselves felt they were really ready to do it at this point.” The band is still hopeful to play together this year, to celebrate their 50th anniversary.
