Rock Legends The Rolling Stones Kick Off US Tour in Texas with Unstoppable Energy!
Rolling Stones performed the first night of the US leg of their tour in Texas on Sunday night as they show no signs of slowing down. The rockers gave an energetic performance at Houston’s NRG Stadium and have now been touring for more than 60 years. Lead singer Mick Jagger and lead guitarist Keith Richards are both now aged 80, and guitarist Ronnie Wood is aged 76.
The band played 18 songs at their latest gig, including new song Angry but also some of their older numbers, Sympathy for the Devil, Gimme Shelter, Honky Tonk Women, and Start Me Up. Fans at the concert also voted for the band to play Beast Of Burden. The band will be playing a 16-city tour across America and Canada – ending on July 17 in California.
It has been reported that the musicians are set to share the stage with Lady Gaga, after their setlist was leaked, confirming the band will be playing their track Sounds Of Heaven, which features the Poker Face hitmaker. The Mirror has revealed that diehard fans managed to track down where the band was rehearsing for their sold-out tour. After listening in on the rehearsals at a venue in Burbank, Los Angeles, they heard Lady Gaga and the Stones’ shared track, fueling rumors she will join them for a duet on stage for their Los Angeles dates in July.
One fan outside the Burbank rehearsal space told the publication: ‘From what we’ve heard this week, these gigs will be Âabsolutely magic and people should be begging, borrowing or stealing tickets.’ As well as all the Hackney Diamonds hits and their classics, it’s very likely they will perform some songs for the last time live.
‘Opening night in Houston is going to be a real party and people will be talking about seeing the Stones there for a very long time.’ MailOnline have contacted Lady Gaga and The Rolling Stones’ representatives for comment. Mick previously revealed that their decision to work with Lady Gaga was a rather spontaneous collaboration. He told how Lady Gaga was recording her own music in a studio next door to them while they were in Los Angeles and had simply popped in to say hello. But the singer then ended up featuring on their new track Sweet Sound of Heaven when she spontaneously started singing with Sir Mick.
