Keith Richards Says Rolling Stones Hologram Concert Is 'Bound To Happen'

Hologram concerts are all the rage right now, but that doesn't mean musicians like them. The topic came up for Keith Richards in a recent interview, and The Rolling Stones guitarist admitted it was "bound to happen," but that doesn't mean he wants it to.

“Well, I certainly wouldn’t rule it out. I’m pretty sure that it is bound to happen,” he said. “Do I want it? Now, that’s another thing. But I don’t know if I want to hang around that long enough, man. But at the same time, it won’t be up to me, will it?”

Speaking of tours, Richards teased that The Stones were planning to hit the road in support of Hackney Diamonds—their first album of original material in 18 years.

 “One of the interesting things is when Mick and I conceived this record, we said that after we cut it and it’s a big hit [laughs] we'd go out on the road behind it," he mentioned during an exclusive IHR ICONS broadcast hosted by iHeartRadio's Jim Kerr after he pointed out that its tracks seemed like they'd translate well live. "That is the second stage of the rocket is to take it on the road…to break these songs out on the road is sort of the next step.”
