LATEST: The ROLLING STONES will be back in the rehearsal studios later this week (ends07JUL06) after postponing dates dues to health setbacks for bandmates RONNIE WOOD and KEITH RICHARDS. The A Bigger Bang tour was halted in May (06) to allow Wood to enter rehab for an ongoing drinking problem and Richards to recover after falling out of a tree during a brief vacation in Fiji. The rock supergroup will relaunch what could be the top grossing tour of all time when the show continues in Milan, Italy, next week (11JUL06). According to Billboard.com, the band has already grossed an estimated $250 million (GBP138.9 million) from the tour and has 21 more stadium dates in Europe to play until the beginning of September (06). Another 10 dates that were postponed due to Richards’ injury are likely to be rescheduled after the tour’s official climax in Denmark.
