The Rolling Stones' concert promoter has hit back at rumours the band's current U.S. trek has been blighted by poor ticket sales, insisting the tour is "doing great".

The rockers initially failed to sell out their 50 & Counting world tour opener in Los Angeles on Friday (03May13) as fans refused to spend $600 (£375) on best-seat tickets but a last-minute slash of prices to $85 (£54) enabled the band to play to a packed house.

Reports suggested sluggish sales had forced concert promoters to drastically cut ticket prices but John Meglen, co-president of AEG Live subsidiary Concerts West, i...

The Rolling Stones may be on their last tour ever this year, which means it's probably near-impossible to get a ticket, right? Wrong. Tickets to see the band's "50 and Counting" tour are priced up to $600, and that's something most fans aren't willing to pay.

The band's tour kicks off at the Staples Center in Los Angeles Friday night, and according to Entertainmentwise.com the show isn't even sold out. The site reports that even scalpers -- er, ticket brokers, have even lowered their prices in attempt to sell them.

More than 1,000 tickets to the show were also put on sale by promoter AEG ...

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has been a very busy man, and not because he’s been making music.

According to a biographer, the rock legend has shared a bed with over 4,000 women. And while Jagger’s “number” still doesn’t come close to Wilt Chamberlain’s 20,000, that is still a lot of women.

“Mick Jagger has slept with 4,000 women over the course of his life, and in retrospect, I think that might be kind of a low figure,” biographer Chris Andersen reveals.

Carla Bruni, Angelina Jolie, Uma Thurman and Farrah Fawcett are among the rock star’s past sex partners. Jagger also slept with ...

Richards tells Rolling Stone magazine, "I spoke to Mick and he said it's something that he said yes to many months ago, so he's just doing it. He's on his own."

Many fans had hoped Jagger's appearance on the show - his first as host - would lead to a Stones reunion, in what will be the band's 50th anniversary year. The group ...

There's sure to be some good jokes when Mick Jagger hosts the season finale of Saturday Night Live May 19, but one of the biggest laughs could come from the fact that the cast members sharing the stage with the singer weren't alive when the Rolling Stones were formed.

Jagger, 68, is set to become the 6th oldest host on the show, following Betty White (88 when she hosted), Miskel Spillman (80), Ruth Gordon (80), Milton Berle (70), and Charlton Heston (70). Amusingly, Spillman was the winner of the first and only "Anyone Can Host" contest in 1977 - he was paid $3,000 for his hosting duties.

"Now I won't have to see ABBA being used in a TV commercial," he says.

Adam Levine recently talked about ongoing rumors suggesting he's gay.

He explained, "There's no way to hide my straightness, but if people didn't think there was a small chance I was gay, then I wouldn't be doing my job very well.

"Look at the best ones, guys whose sexuality was always questioned - Bowie, Jagger, Freddie Mercury. I wouldn't be the frontman of a band if that question hadn't come up at some point."
