It is 50 years this week since The Rolling Stones first performed together as a band.

The legendary rock band, made up of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts, first performed at London's Marquee Club on July 12, 1962.

Richards has confirmed the Rolling Stones have started rehearsing again, saying it feels ''so good'' to be back with his fellow band members.

He told the BBC: ''There's things in the works - I think it's definitely happening, But when? I can't say yet.

''We're playing around with the idea [of a tour] and had a couple of rehearsals - we've got together and it feels so good.''

The Rolling Stones are expected to celebrate their 50th anniversary with a tour next year, and Keith recently admitted 2013 is a ''more realistic'' timeframe that for the group to take to the stage again.
