The Rolling Stones are hitting pause on touring for now.
The band opted out of a stadium tour in the U.K. and Europe, a representative for the band confirmed Thursday to USA TODAY.
Despite rumors of an upcoming album and a rich history of touring yearly, the British supergroup decided against a multi-month trek across the continent, with singer Keith Richards deciding the move wasn't right for him.
"The Stones had promoters presenting loads of ideas and dates to them for next summer in Europe," the band's rep Bernard Doherty told USA TODAY via email Dec. 18. "Nothing was confirmed but when they properly sat down to discuss the tour, Keith said he didn't think he could commit and wasn't keen on a big stadium tour for over four months at this time."
