Lady Gaga to join Stones at gig

LADY Gaga is to join The Rolling Stones for their final 50 And Counting concert at the weekend.

The rock and roll legends - who have played a series of gigs to celebrate their 50th anniversary - announced the Born This Way singer will appear on stage with them at The Prudential Centre in Newark, New Jersey on Saturday December 15, along with Bruce Springsteen and The Black Keys.

The Rolling Stones said: “We’re excited these extraordinary artists, Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga and The Black Keys, have agreed to help celebrate our 50th anniversary as we share the night live with our fans all over the world. Now the fun begins of trying to figure out the best songs to perform together.”

The historic gig will be broadcast live on TV via Sky pay-per-view at 2am on Sunday December 16, 2012. It will also be available to view on Sky On Demand for a week afterwards.                  –GN

The band played two concerts in London last month and Saturday’s show is the last of three dates in the US.

The anniversary tour sold out in minutes but some fans have been angered by the high ticket prices.
