The curtain will finally fall for rock legends, The Rolling Stones who are planning to bow out after 50 years in music, with a giant farewell tour.
The foursome will have a combined age of 268 when their world tour kicks off next year and their band will reach it's half-century during the gig which is set to last into 2012.
The 50th anniversary tour will be the last for Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts, reported Sun online.
The band, formed way back in 1962, will also celebrate drummer Watts 70th birthday on the tour, and bandmates Wood, 63, Richards and Jagger, both 66, agreed the milestone makes it
They are in talks with promoters Live Nation about the tour, and a source said, "They're likely to perform in stadiums. It's almost certainly the last full-scale world tour."
"The band realise that age is creeping up on them. They want to bow out on top of their game, and not short change their fans," the source added.
The Stones first did a farewell tour of Britain in 1971, then left the country to avoid high taxes. They gave up touring again for eight years from 1982 until the 'Steel Wheels' tour in 1990.
The band has sold more than 200 million albums and recorded a string of classic hits including 'Satisfaction', 'Paint It Black' and 'Brown Sugar'.
