Stripped right back, reduced (where appropriate crew/entourage - sorry Charlotte!)
We have been extremely successful in dealing with Covid here in Oz & NZ and cases are very low, and our record would have been that much better had there not been a 2nd wave in Victoria due in most past to security guards tasked with looking after people in hotel quarantine, chopping them up instead. Anyway that is all behind us now.
Their safety would be assured and they could escape the Northern Hemisphere winter.
It may sound nuts and probably is, but keen to hear respectful thoughts?

I guess if there's a promotor willing to take on the tour and an insurance company willing to insure the band.

"chopping them up" - eh? I've heard many strange tales about the origin of Victoria's second wave, but cannibalism wasn't one of them.
True it arose from Security Guards - like it has just done so in South Australia - and that was in turn because they were (in essence) casual, low paid, hardly trained, and working in several places.
As for The Rolling Stones - they definitely owe Hanging Rock a few favours having cancelled there twice in the last few years!
Gudinski lives locally, get on to him to organise it. And if they want to quarantine inbound, I've got a big enough house for several of them and I'm not far from Hanging Rock so they'd not have far to go to do the sound check.
And, quite genuinely, last time we were househunting we looked seriously at a house along Cowell's Road. [goo.gl] :-)

Tour start in Adelaide, South Australia, currently in Lock Down?
Stranded Australians 'beside themselves' after inbound international flights to Adelaide cancelled over COVID-19 cluster
There is no safe place on the planet now, as for the virus.

I doubt that members of the Stones, as well as the entire touring staff, will be able to take such kinds of measures when they'll have the Australasia tour.

Don't see why not? Arguably The Stones Touring Party are better funded/resourced than even the Vienna Philarmonic!
Besides... we're all forgetting that there's an Olympics going to happen in 2021, so that means a lot more travel anyway.
