Rolling Stones Fans Fear Group Will Not Be Able to Go On Without Deceased Drummer Watts

In March 2020, it was announced that the Rolling Stones tour, due to kick off in San Diego on 8 May of that year, had been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Some Rolling Stones fans have voiced concern that the legendary rock band's upcoming tour may be their last after the death of drummer Charlie Watts on Tuesday at the age of 80.
The iconic group's USA No Filter Tour is due to resume on 26 September in St. Louis, Missouri and will wrap up on 20 November in Austin, Texas.
The rockers are slated to hit the stage in New Orleans, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Dallas, Las Vegas, Atlanta, and Detroit, among other cities.
Watts was to miss the tour, postponed last year amid the COVID-19 pandemic, because of his recovery from an unspecified medical procedure, which his spokesman said had been "completely successful".
Paying their tribute to Watts on Twitter, a number of fans suggested that "this tour will be their last one" and that the Rolling Stones "might go on one final tour in memory" of the drummer.
Very sorry to hear a favorite & one of the greatest drummers in any generation!

I have tickets to The Rolling Stones in September. I was determined to see them before they die. He will be missed! Hope they still do their tour. https://t.co/vk4uG1JBLC

I think the Rolling Stones might go on one final tour in memory of Watts.
