It's All Over Now (almost)
The Rolling Stones will close the European leg of the Bridges To Babylon tour September 19th with a show in Istanbul, marking their first visit to Turkey. The B2B has been one of the more eventful tours for the band. Shows were canceled or rearranged due to injury (Keith), sickness (Mick), soccer (World Cup) and taxes (British). Even with the problems, the boys have covered most of the globe even playing Russia for the first time a few weeks ago.

Live, If You Want it
IORR: The European Stone Fan Club reports that a live album titled No Security featuring songs recorded throughout the tour will be released on November 3rd. The site claims that the CD will be made up of songs selected by fans via a web page. The Stones used this method to let fans choose one song for each performance during their current tour.

This rumor has not been confirmed. There is no mention of the project on either the Stones' official site or on their record companies list of upcoming releases.

The Stones Keep Rollin'
There are rumors of another tour through the U.S., possibly in January and February of 1999. Again there is nothing on the official site or on Virgin's site.

Here are the only officially confirmed dates so far:

Edinburgh Murrayfield Friday June 4th 1999 (originally 24 Aug 98)
Sheffield Don Valley Sunday June 6th 1999 (originally 26 Aug 98)
London Wembley Friday June 11th 1999 (originally 20 Aug 98)
