BREAKING NEWS: Mick Jagger Announces Final Rolling Stones Tour, Teases Solo Project…….
In a monumental announcement that’s shaking the foundations of the music world, Mick Jagger, the iconic frontman of The Rolling Stones, has officially confirmed that the band will embark on its final world tour in 2026 — marking the end of an era that has spanned more than six decades.
At a press conference held today at Abbey Road Studios in London, the 81-year-old rock legend stood alongside bandmates Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood to share the news. “This is not goodbye to the music,” Jagger said, “but it is the final chapter of this particular story. The Stones are going out the way we came in — live, loud, and unforgettable.”
The “Last Time” Tour
The tour, aptly named “The Last Time”, will kick off in April 2026 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and will include more than 40 dates across five continents. Highlights include multi-night runs at London’s Wembley Stadium, New York’s Madison Square Garden, and the Tokyo Dome. The final show is tentatively scheduled for December 2026 in Los Angeles, California.
Tickets are expected to sell out within minutes, with presale access already crashing several major ticketing platforms.
“This isn’t about fading away,” Jagger emphasized. “It’s about celebrating what we’ve built — and going out with the same energy we had when we started.”
A New Chapter Begins
Alongside the tour announcement came another unexpected twist: Mick Jagger is working on a solo album, his first since 2001’s Goddess in the Doorway. The album, currently untitled, will reportedly feature collaborations with several high-profile artists, including Lady Gaga, Jack White, and Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Burna Boy.
Jagger hinted that the new record will blend rock, blues, and world music influences, showcasing a more introspective lyrical tone. “I’ve always been moving forward, always trying something new,” he said. “This album is me reflecting on the past — and reimagining what the future could sound like.”
Sources close to Jagger say the album is slated for a late 2025 release, just ahead of the farewell tour’s launch.
A Legacy Like No Other
Mick Jagger’s influence on music, fashion, and culture is unparalleled. From his explosive stage presence and signature swagger to his pioneering role in rock and roll history, Jagger has become a symbol of rebellion, creativity, and longevity. Since co-founding The Rolling Stones in 1962, he’s helped shape the soundtrack of multiple generations with classics like “Gimme Shelter,” “Sympathy for the Devil,” and “Start Me Up.”
With over 250 million albums sold worldwide, a knighthood, and a reputation for electrifying performances well into his 80s, Jagger’s career is nothing short of historic.
Tributes Pour In
Within hours of the announcement, tributes and reactions began flooding in from artists, celebrities, and fans worldwide.
Paul McCartney wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “What a journey it’s been for Mick and the Stones. Legends through and through. Here’s to the last ride!”
Beyoncé posted on Instagram, “A true icon. Thank you for breaking barriers, inspiring generations, and never losing your edge.”
Even younger stars like Harry Styles and Billie Eilish expressed admiration, calling the tour announcement “bittersweet” and “historic.”
What Comes After?
When asked about what life might look like post-Stones, Jagger smiled knowingly. “I don’t think I’ll ever stop writing or performing in some way. But maybe I’ll finally take a long vacation, learn to paint, or just spend more time with the grandkids.”
With eight children and five grandchildren, Jagger has long juggled his rockstar lifestyle with family life — a balance he now seems more inclined to embrace.
For now, fans can rejoice in the chance to see one of music’s greatest living legends take the stage one last time. And as Mick Jagger himself put it, “It’s not the end of the music — just the end of a legendary chapter.”
