The Rolling Stones, who are currently in the middle of a European stadium tour, were joined on stage two nights ago in Vienna by a Ukrainian choir for a performance of “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”.
The performance was a part of the encore at the Stones’ show at Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna, Austria. Frontman Mick Jagger introduced the Vogynk girls choir and Dzvinochock boys choir, stating that the group had made a whopping fifteen hour journey from Kyiv to Vienna just for the concert. Ruben Tolmachov, the choirmaster for the two choirs, addressed the crowd, saying: “This is a very special night for the two choirs and a chance of a lifetime not to be missed… I’m so glad we made it here to Vienna, a night to remember for all of us”.

As any fan of rock music may know by now, The Rolling Stones’ long-time drummer Charlie Watts passed away last year at the age of eighty. Watts’ passing prompted a great number of tributes from various peers and music icons, and it was announced earlier this month that a biography about Watts was to be released later this year entitled Charlie’s Good Tonight: The Authorised Biography of Charlie Watts. The band said in a statement regarding this: “He was funny and generous and a man of great taste and we miss him terribly. It’s great that his family have authorized this official biography by Paul Sexton, who’s been writing and broadcasting about Charlie and the band for many years.”
Commenting on his involvement as the writer of the biography, Sexton stated: “He was funny and generous and a man of great taste and we miss him terribly.
