Following months of speculation, The Rolling Stones have announced plans to play a series of four 50th anniversary concerts. On Sunday @RollingStones informed fans to "Follow @grrregory, he's got something to tell you!" and this morning he delivered!

The video carried this introduction: The most eagerly anticipated concerts of 2012 are announced today as the greatest rock 'n' roll band, The Rolling Stones, confirm their long awaited return to the stage with four spectacular arena shows in London and New York. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood at last revealed their return to live work exclusively via this video.
As the crowning glory of their on-going 50th anniversary celebrations, the rock icons will play to thousands of fans at London's O2 Arena on November 25 and 29, and then across the pond to perform at the Prudential Center, Newark, near New York, on December 13 and 15.
As for the friends, the @grrregory account may have dropped a hint with this tweet: "@Roberrrrrt Mr D, Mr G, Mr J, Mr R, Mr W & Mr W. Maybe even Mr W & Mr T. Definitely Mr L, Mr F, Mr J and Mr K." With Mr. W possibly being Bill Wyman and Mr. T possibly being Mick Taylor.
