Mick Jagger says Keith Richards can't come to the band's 50th anniversary (which is next year, and for which nothing has been planned or announced)

Is it still a cat fight if its between a bunch of old dudes in their 70s?

Mick Jagger says Keith Richards can’t come to the Rolling Stones’ 50^th anniversary ceremony, and no, it’s not because there’ll probably be too many stairs. The catch is, of course, that no such ceremony has been planned, or announced, mostly because their 50th anniversary is nearly a year away.

Talking to Live Magazine, Jagger says he wants to go back to London’s Marquee Club, where they played their first show in July of 1962.

“Maybe we could go back to the Marquee to accept a plaque for 50 years of service instead of a tour. That could work – except Keith obviously can’t come. Charlie Watts can come but he wouldn’t get the plaque obviously.”

As an added point of reference, Charlie Watts wasn’t in the band in 1962. [via NME]
