ABC HAS nixed plans to air “Rolling Stone 50,” a threehour live broadcast meant to celebrate the storied music mag, a source confirmed to the Daily News.

The special was slated for Feb. 7. It was set to include live performanc­es and never-before-seen pairings from many of the stars who have filled the magazine’s pages since its launch in 1967.

Jann Wenner, the magazine’s co-founder, had been named as executive producer.

ABC did not respond to a request for comment on why it canceled the show.

Wenner, 71, was recently accused by two men of sexual assault in separate incidents.
