Are The Rolling Stones set to retire from the live arena at Glastonbury 2013?

     According to reports from the UK tabloid The Sunday Mirror The Rolling Stones plan on retiring from Live Touring with a Sunday night headlining slot at the 2013 Glastonbury Festival's Pyramid stage.  

The Rolling Stones have never played the famous Somerset festival which attracts annually 175,000 music fans. 

According to the Mirror "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."

I saw the stones live back in 1989 on the Steel Wheels Tour and they did put on a huge show that everyone should see at least once.
