The Rolling Stones will tour the US this fall. Drummer Charlie Watts has to sit out for health reasons.
Sad news for all fans of the Rolling Stones: Drummer Charlie Watts (80) will not be on the “No Filter” US tour this fall. The band has now confirmed this with an official statement.
A spokesman for the drummer commented on the reasons for Watts’ failure. “Charlie had one [medizinischen] Procedure that was completely successful, but his doctors decided this week that he needs to rest and recover properly. With rehearsals starting in a few weeks, it’s very sad to say, but you have to admit that nobody saw it coming, “he explained.
Watts doesn’t want to disappoint fans
Watts himself also had a say in the statement. “For the first time my timing is a bit off. I’m working hard to get fully fit again, but today, on the advice of the experts, I realized that it will take a while. After so many fans suffered due to the COVID situation I don’t want to disappoint the fans who have tickets for this tour by postponing or canceling them, “wrote the musician.
Substitute Jordan is looking forward to the rehearsals
However, a replacement has already been taken care of: Watts’ good friend Steve Jordan (64) will step in for him. Jordan was already on stage with Keith Richards (77) for the X-Pensive Vinos project. He’s already looking forward to working with the rest of the Stones: “It’s an absolute honor and privilege to be Charlie’s substitute and I’m looking forward to rehearsals with Mick, Keith and Ronnie.”
