Those mentioning the mighty reaper... The day death strikes one of them, I hope they go out like the Grateful Dead did with "The Other Ones"/"The Dead"/"Dead & Company" and just tour as "The Stones"! As long as Mick is there, I'm there! (I'm late to the party and have only seen the band 4 times, so I'm willing to consider any new alternative that should spring up. Yup.

Horrible idea

I heard from what I consider a very knowledgable source that the current touring contract has insurance for the tour to be cancelled (with the stones not out of pocket) if something happens to Mick, Keith or Charlie but NOT Ronnie. So maybe, this sheds some light into the question of would they continue if something happened to Ronnie at least.

I personally think they would continue if something happened to Charlie. Although I always wonder how much reliance there is on Chuck especially from Mick. I wonder whether Matt Clifford is on hand to direct the band on stage should something happen to Chuck...

From a musical perspective I think replacing Ronnie would be hardest out of Charlie and Ronnie as in the live show he takes a lot of strain off Keith in solos etc and dancing about “putting on a show”. I hope it never comes to any of that... a four piece until the very end at the O2 in London !

as I recall, the contract that leaked after the Aussie tour in 2014 got pulled after L'Wren Scott died indicated that both Keith & Ronnie were basically uninsurable at that time. That has more to do with their health history - and as said above, Ronnie's recent illness would make that the main reason why thats an issue, not his status within the band.

I find it incredulous that anyone would seriously believe that a band with an average age of about 75 would feel the desire to keep things going if one of the band members died. What makes people think they'd want to bother? They're already semi-retired from touring as it is. That would be all the reason in the world to hang it up. To date, they havent found a good one.

The Glimmer Twins would tour together without Charlie or Ronnie.

There will be more shows next year. Warsaw is not the last show.

Didn't BV (or someone - sorry if I'm wrong about who) post that they are coming to the US in the fall this year or spring of 2019?

I think Asia and Australia will be next leg in February next year...5 years from the last appearance there and there will be "Exhibitionism" in Sydney too...Then I think that they'll touring North America in the fall with a new album to promote...

Only 2 of those 5 cities mentioned have stadiums with a roof, or in Seattle's case the roof is retractable at Safeco Field. The other is Vancouver...

I feel like the "new" No Filter stage that debuted in 2017 will be taken overseas... seems like a major expense to build a new set for 2 European legs.

I don't know if the video towers could be reduced in size to fit major arenas, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were adaptable.

If that is the case, that opens up a host of cities that could see shows. Those without shows for awhile do include all the cities mentioned above and many others.

If they come to North America, a good question is do they play indoors or outside? Different capacities and different pricing strategies most likely.

The screens were built to be adapted to arenas I believe.. even better! (good video on it somewhere here). Seems reasonable to think that by highlighting that in their video it would become a reality at some point..
Gotta think they bring this to NA next.. like you say, many cities to choose from.
