I have had this thought, too. But honestly I think this virus has been around longer than we know.
I think the tour will get a postponement while they work out the legal, financial and insurance issues. Then cancelled or perhaps just push it back a year and see if they still want to do it or can do it.
This morning I am optimistic that 3-4 weeks of distancing and testing will get us all through the worst. In the meantime I am playing the Stones around the house and trying to catch-up on repairs, etc.
Luckily we have their music to help us get through this.

I hate to say it, but there is sneaking a thought into my mind every day now:
The last ever Rolling Stones show might have been Miami Fri Aug 30, 2019

To go from having tickets and plans in place for a handful of shows, one less than an hour from my house less than two months away, to the very real possibility that there will be no more shows.. is a bridge I'm not ready to cross yet.
Elton John announced he has halted his world tour until May 2, today.
My first thought was.. wow, initial plans to resume before the Stones tour even starts, that's encouraging.
Then reality returned and I remembered there is no way this tour is not postponed, or canceled. I'm going to remain optimistic and hope for a postponement and if offered, hold on to all my tickets. Very aware that Santa Clara was likely my last show, and I will also no doubt quickly get to the acceptance stage of that, but I'm not rushing there.

For sure, they can not tour anywhere in the world this year. For sure, Mick, Charlie and Ronnie are stuck in UK now for months, staying apart at home, while Keith is at home in USA.
Next year Charlie is 80 years old. With all the past experiences of hurricanes, laryngitis, heart valve procedure, and now the corinavirus worldwide lockdown, I think 2019 will be the new 2007, i.e. the last year they toured for a while, but it was never planned for.
I knew that the last show would not be a fact until AFTER I had seen it, but I did not expect it to end this way.
Hopefully, in a couple of years, they do a final UK tour. But I really don't know.

Hold on to your memories as they will have to suffice.

I have many great memories from the Miami show, but it was special, since they moved it one day early, and since the hurricane sort of shattered us on our way out of Miami. I think they might do something in UK later on, if they feel like it, but I am not so sure about more world touring.

I just checked and tickets can still be purchased thru ticketmaster, what does that tell us?? An assumption can be made that everyone is in a holding pattern to see what transpires over the next 6 weeks, but more likely we will hear something in 3 weeks.
Surely there will be an official statement from the band about this tour and hopefully future endeavors. Some may not think they owe us this much, but their actions indicate they are open for business. It ain't over until they say its over.
