Rolling Stone interviewed Keith Richards about the new leg of The Rolling Stones’ No Filter stadium tour. With a career lasting over 50 years, the legendary guitarist is still amazed at the band’s longevity.
This is their first tour in the United States since the Zip Code tour in 2015. The Rolling Stones first toured the U.S. in 1964 and traveled around in a station wagon. “America was a very different place in the middle ’60s,” he told Rolling Stone. “Quite honestly, I can’t believe I’ve been around this long, man. I’ve watched this country grow up.”
The iconic band isn’t really slowing down though. Richards teased a potential new album with a possible release next year after the tour. He and Mick Jagger are in the “early stages” of working on songs. He said, “Mick and I got together for a few days a month or so ago in the studio, just playing around,”.
While Richards admits that he will never really know if a tour will be his last, “Maybe this will be the last one, I don’t know”, he has not put much thought to a farewell tour.
