Mick Jagger may have envisioned a future where The Rolling Stones perform as digital avatars, but his longtime bandmate Keith Richards is not ready to give up on live music just yet.
In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Jagger discussed the possibility of The Rolling Stones continuing after he and Richards are gone. “You can have a posthumous business now, can’t you? You can have a posthumous tour. The technology has really moved on since the ABBA thing [their Voyage avatar show in London], which I was supposed to go to, but I missed it.”
When asked about Jagger's comments, Richards said that type of show is not on his radar. In an audio clip, he said: "I hadn't gone that far yet. I ain't dying yet. But I understand Mick will always be thinking of things and bless his heart."
The Rolling Stones are still going strong despite the loss of their drummer Charlie Watts, who died in August at the age of 80. The band is set to release Hackney Diamonds, their first album of original material since 2005's A Bigger Bang, on October 20th.
Meanwhile, a mansion in England’s countryside owned by Watts from 1976 to ’83 is for sale for $9.67 million. The 10,000-square-foot home sits on 52 acres and features seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, a swimming pool, a tennis court, and a recording studio.
