The Rolling Stones have seemingly been on one long tour since forming back in 1962.
So it came as a surprise when we learned that they take breaks from the road. Apparently, they're currently on such a reprieve, but Mick Jagger and the boys recently announced an international leg that will take them through Japan, China, Australia and New Zealand.
Mick Taylor, who played with the band from 1969 to 1974, will be a special guest throughout the 14 On Fire Tour, which got its own hype video on Friday.
"Hey Look out Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Auckland, the 14 On Fire tour is coming your way soon," Jagger says as "Rough Justice" plays.
"Maybe a lot of these people have never seen the Stones before so don't really know what to expect," he adds.
Guitarist Keith Richards is pretty pumped about the set.
"It's a two-hour show and the structure of it is pretty damn good," he says. "We know what we're going to do when we get out there but we have no idea what the crowd are going to do.
As far as the constant touring goes, drummer Charlie Watts adds: "We just seem to keep going and doing it."
From the band's official website:
The stage design for the indoor concerts is based on the band's ubiquitous tongue and lips logo, which extends out into the crowd, allowing the Stones to interact directly with their audience. The exclusive 'Tongue Pit' GA Standing area inside the stage will give fans in this area an incomparable 360 degree concert experience. Known for their ground-breaking sets and use of cutting-edge technology, the Stones' set design will feature video screens and special effects that will enhance the high-octane experience of attending a live Stones' show.
