The Rolling Stones to play London and Brooklyn?

The Rolling Stones 1

The Rolling Stones may play two concerts in November to mark their 50th anniversary.

An unnamed source told Billboard that the rock icons are planning two shows at London's O2 Arena and two at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The source added that Richard Branson and Australian promoter Paul Dainty are promoting the gigs and the band will be paid $25 million for all four concerts.

In other Stones news, the group announced that Crossfire Hurricane, a career-spanning documentary directed by Brett Morgan, will be released theatrically in the United Kingdom in October and premiere in the United States on HBO later in the year.

The film promises to incorporate never-before-seen-footage and new interviews to chart their rise from "blues-obsessed teenagers in the early 60’s to rock royalty. It’s all here in panoramic candour, from the Marquee Club to Hyde Park, from Altamont to Exile, from club gigs to stadium extravaganzas."
