"The Rolling Stones have been asked to appear on the all-star Hurricane Sandy benefit at Madison Square Garden next month. Bruce Springsteen, The Who, Bon Jovi, Alicia Keys, Paul McCartney and Kanye West are among the acts confirmed for the Concert for Sandy Relief on December 12.  The event is being organized by the Robin Hood Foundation, which famously held the Concert for New York City weeks after the September 11 terror attacks in 2001. Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones will be in the area at the time of the charity show for two concerts in Newark, NJ on December 13 and December 15. John Sykes - president of &amp;#039;Concert for Sandy Relief&amp;#039; sponsor Clear Channel - has now revealed that discussions are underway to add the Rolling Stones to the Madison Square Garden benefit lineup. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s been talk of that,&amp;quot; Sykes told Rolling Stone. &amp;quot;The challenge is they have a full-blown dress rehearsal on the 12th or the 13th because their pay-per-view special is on the 15th. &amp;quot;But, yeah, there have been conversations with them. Mick and Keith came out for the Concert for New York City 11 years ago and played on their own. They&amp;#039;re well aware of the show and certainly have been invited to be part of it in any way, shape or form of the band.&amp;quot; Sykes went on to hint that more superstar acts for the Concert for Sandy Relief will be announced in the coming weeks.  &amp;quot;We have yet to announce the final, final lineup and everything else that will be happening that evening,&amp;quot; the executive revealed. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re speaking to literally every media platform and looking for the best possible reach for fundraising opportunities.&amp;quot;  He continued: &amp;quot;What we hope will happen is that many will come in and many doors will be open, like what happened a few weeks ago for the NBC telethon.&amp;quot; Broadcast details for the show have yet to be announced. Watch Mick Jagger and Keith Richards perform on 2001&amp;#039;s Concert for New York City below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
