LONDON — The Rolling Stones made a triumphant return to the London stage on Sunday night in the first of five concerts to mark the 50th anniversary of their debut as an American-oriented blues band. They showed no signs of wear and tear — except on their aging, heavily lined faces — as frontman Mick Jagger swaggered and strutted through a stellar two-anda-half hour show. He looked remarkably trim and fit and was in top vocal form. The Stones passed the half-century mark in style at the sometimes emotional gig that saw former bassist Bill Wyman and guitar master Mick Taylor join their old mates in front of a packed crowd at London’s 02 Arena. It was the first of five megashows to mark the passage of 50 years since the band first appeared in a small London pub determined to pay homage to the masters of American blues. Jagger, in skin-tight black pants, a black shirt and a sparkly tie, took time out from singing to thank the crowd for its loyalty. “It’s amazing that we’re still doing this, and it’s amazing that you’re still buying our records and coming to our shows,” he said. “Thank you, thank you,
thank you.” Lead guitarist Keith Richards, whose survival has surprised many who thought he would succumb to drugs and drink, was blunter: “We made it,” he said. “I’m happy to see you. I’m happy to see anybody.” But the band’s fiery music was no joke, fuelled by an incandescent guest appearance by Taylor, who played lead guitar on a stunning extended version of the ominous “Midnight Rambler,” and Mary J. Blige, who shook the house in a duet with Jagger on “Gimme Shelter.” The 50th anniversary show, which will be followed by one more in London, then three in the greater New York area, lacked some of the band’s
customary bravado — the “world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band” intro was shelved — and there were some rare nostalgic touches. Even the famously taciturn Wyman briefly cracked a smile when trading quips with Richards and Ronnie Wood. The concert started with a brief video tribute from luminaries like Elton John, Iggy Pop and Johnny Depp, who praised the Stones for their audacity and staying power. The Stones’ show contained an extended video homage to the American trailblazers who shaped their music: Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Otis Redding, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and others. The montage included rare footage of the young Elvis Presley.

Hugh Jackman: Russell Crowe turned down Wolverine
Hugh Jackman has revealed that his “Les Miserables” co-star, Russell Crowe, was the original choice for the role of “X-Men” character Wolverine. “Russell has given me advice several times at key moments in my life that helped with my career. I also owe him because two of the biggest roles I’ve ever had in my life, he turned down - and suggested me for them,” the actor told Entertainment Weekly in a new interview with the mag, to promote “Les Miserbales.” “On ‘X-Men,’ he was Bryan Singer’s first choice for Wolverine,” Hugh continued. “And he mentioned me also for [Baz Luhrmann’s] ‘Australia.’” The two Australian actors play rivals in “Les Miserables” - Hugh as Jean Valdean and Russell as Javert - but in real life, teaming up for the project brought them closer as friends and helped them create better performances. “We really pushed each other,” he told the mag.
