The Rolling Stones too old for long tours: Charlie Watts

The Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts feels that the band members have become too old to embark on long tours.

The veteran rockers are set to take on a series of concerts as part of their upcoming tour in Asia and Australia later this month, reported Contactmusic.

"This is short compared to what we've done before, but it needs to be, I think, at our tender age. The thought of doing 50 shows, which was normal at one time for us, is quite daunting now," Watts said.

"Now we're doing that in little bits. If we don't do any more I'll be quite happy with that," he added.
