Mick Jagger: 'People will be sick of Rolling Stones in 2012'
Mick Jagger has predicted that people will get "sick" of The Rolling Stones when they celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2012.
The frontman recently revealed that a new tour would be "unlikely", but has now hinted that there is still a chance of one.
"I don't know what form the anniversary will take," he told The Mirror. "I am sure you will be partially sick of the Stones by the end of next year.
"We have a lot of stuff to go for. People want to do exhibitions, TV and documentaries so we have to look at those and see.
"There may be a tour, who knows? Maybe. At the moment nothing is fixed."
Jagger added that the band's longevity is an "achievement", and that he was surprised they have lasted 50 years.
"I got used to our longevity in decades. After 10 years I was impressed. We made a documentary after 25 years and thought that was a really long time.
"It is quite an achievement I suppose, still being around at all. I guess you should be pleased with it but, you know, I think it will be interesting to see how people react to the 50th year thing."
Jagger recently admitted that the group would reject any offer to perform at the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony.
