The Rolling Stones set to bow out in 2013 from touring

The Rolling Stones are set to bow out in sensational style... with a farewell gig at ­Glastonbury next year.
The band, whose four members have a combined age of 272, will play the ­coveted Sunday night headline slot on the Pyramid stage after talks with festival organisers Michael and Emily Eavis.
It will be their first and only ­performance at the famous Somerset festival which attracts 175,000 fans.
Sources close to the band indicate that the appearance is expected to be the final date in a “handful” of shows in Britain and America in 2013 – which they see as their true 50th anniversary – before they ­finally retire from the live arena.
