The Rolling Stones, who are celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2011 of life, want to take the road to celebrate the event, but a contractual dispute between Live Nation and Michael Cohl, former president of Live Nation, with whom the group signed an agreement is at the heart of a dilemma that could delay the tour.

In 2008, Cohl has signed an agreement with the Rolling Stones in preparation for this 50th anniversary, which he knew, was conducive to a tour of the legends of rock, perhaps their last.

Where to Live Nation dispute forced to leave his post Cohl, Live Nation has continued for more than 5 million dollars for a breach in the separation agreement between both parties, including the famous Rolling Stones tour in the heart the dispute.

Cohl has responded with a cons-continuation and the company Live Nation now try to promote the concert itself, in collaboration with Cohl or as a rival.

For their part, the Rolling Stones want and refuse to comment on the conflict.

The Rolling Stones may be still there after almost 50 years together, but their paths did not happen smoothly, far away.

The legendary guitarist, Keith Richards, who today launched his autobiography, Life, reveals in it the reason that nearly led to divorce between him and Mick Jagger in the early 1980s.

“At that time, I had no control over the direction of the group. He (Jagger) and controlled all assumed he was the ringleader. When I told him: “Give me responsibility, I will assume my share of work”, I was surprised that instead of sighs of relief, he wants to get rid of anything. To see him thinking bigger than the Stones got upset at first, before literally infuriates me later. ”

Fortunately, the calm and pragmatism of drummer Charlie Watts have helped save the training, either always asking him to come and settle many disputes they have had together.
