Stones tour rolls into Vancouver

After almost a month's delay, the Rolling Stones' record-shattering tour heads to Vancouver'sB.C. Place on Saturday.

The show was originally scheduled for Nov. 3 before the band postponed it and several other concerts on the North American tour to allow singer Mick Jagger to rest his voice.

It was the second time the 63-year-old Jagger had to alter the band's tour because of his voice. In August several dates from the European tour were cancelled or postponed after he developed laryngitis.

The European tour also faced delays after guitarist Keith Richards fell from a tree while vacationing in Fiji and later had surgery to relieve pressure on his brain.

Guitarist Ronnie Wood also checked in to a rehabilitation clinic for a brief stay during this time.

Vancouver is the third Canadian city the aged but legendary rock band will visit on the second North American leg of their A Bigger Bang tour.

The tour began in 2005 in North America before travelling to Brazil, Australia and China, Europe and back to North America.

The band played Halifax and Regina for the first time earlier this fall and in Toronto, Moncton, Ottawa and Calgary during the first leg of the tour in 2005.

The tour has also broken the record for the highest grossing tour ever, with gross sales of $437 million US over 110 shows, according to Friday's Billboard magazine.

It overtook U2's Vertigo tour, which finished in March of this year after11 months.
