EXCLUSIVE: Lawsuit against Live Nation shows that Rolling Stones are planning a 2012 tour
The Rolling Stones are, amid rumours, officially planning a tour to celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2012... We think. You see, we have received no official word thus far from the band - usually there is a press conference. Instead we've found out through a lawsuit against the Stones' tour promoter, Live Nation.

Ex-chairman of Live Nation, Michael Cohl, was originally sued by the company for $5.35 million for breaching the contract he signed when he left the company in 2008. In a dramatic turn around, Cohl is now suing the company back, claiming that Live Nation actually breached the very same contract by attempting to "interfere with" and "destroy" his opportunity to procure the rights to a Rolling Stones tour in 2012.

Cohl and Live Nation have been fighting over the rights to the forthcoming planned tour since February of last year.
