There is no need to spread conspiracy theories about this tour being off, for now.
One of the main issues here was venues.
The tour start in Barcelona was including on site rehearsals starting May 5, with rigging of stage ahead of that. Then two shows, all in all two weeks at The Olympic Stadium in Barcelona. Camp Nou was out of question, it is delayed with renovation works, and The Rolling Stones have never performed there, it is the largest football stadium in Europe. The complexity with FC Barcelona in need of the stadium too was probably just one of several issues.
I could follow changes of dates all through January, shows in Paris, London, Rome, Munic and Paris were listed with different dates at different times by local press and insiders. Sure there were several issues.
Then they had several rules of the tour, including space for rescheduling, and when the structure of the tour does not fit into the performing artist's needs, after months of work, then there is a time for saying this can not be done at this time.
Venues in Europe are busy, it is hard to schedule and rechedule a tour during summer. They have been working on this tour for a long time. Then, it did not work out. Hopefully we get a tour later this year, or we get a new album, both are great options for us, the fans, as well as the band.
