The Rolling Stones lost their founding member Charlie Watts yesterday at the age of 80.
They are slated to start their US tour on September 26th in Missouri. Therefore, it would not be surprising if they decided to postpone it so that they can continue to mourn their drummer’s death.
However, The Sun is reporting that will start it up as planned. A music insider told the paper, “The band want to make the show a celebration of his life.
“He was like a brother to them but they know he would have hated the thought of them cancelling shows.
“Charlie had given them his blessing to tour without him following his operation so that they will honour his wishes.”
Watts had already pulled out of the concerts, and he was replaced by a different drummer. So it is not like the band isn’t prepared to play as one. But emotionally, that is another story.
Instead of painting the towns red, they will paint it black in his memory.
