This has Charlie's blessing, with the assurance that he will be back "before the end of the year".
While the widely quoted article from The Sun noted "later this year", Charlie's "official" statement makes no mention of that.

Not exactly seeing the point.
Loads of stuff the article has that the official statement doesn't.
Ones an article, one's a statement.
Not really relevant, but it's clear his plan is to return.

Point was simply that neither the official statement or subsequent comments from Mick, Keith and Ronnie's social media said that.
The Sun got a leaked copy of the official statement and built their "WORLD EXCLUSIVE" story around it.
Will reiterate best wishes for Charlie's speedy recovery.

Hopefully Charlie fully recovers in time for the 60th anniversary next year.

I believe everyone pretty much can agree that celebrating their 60th is a huge milestone and very important to all of them.
Part of the reason, I believe, we should be rallying around them and support this decision to move forward with this leg with Charlie sidelined.
If it were (as it still very well may be) a "lost" tour, I think the odds of the 60th tour and celebrations happening go down significantly.
Keep the wheels turning, we are close to the end and I don't want to be robbed of a minute, much less a tour and what promises to be an historic finale.

The stones have been a nostalgia band propped up with non-Stones for a long time now....so why am I thinking they should cancel the tour without Charlie?
1. Because Charlie is a uniquely amazing drummer who’s style and attitude has defined the roll and longevity of Stones music and is the only member who has kept his sound and chops faithful to the very best of Stones music.
2. Because Keith has tripled down on making us believe the Stones are done without Charlie.
3. Because Steve Jordan doesn’t lift his cymbal or hi hat stroke when he plays the snare drum on the backbeats and will never tell Mick or Keith to f-off when they need to be checked.
4. Because it feels like the nail in the coffin of the cash cow entity being more important than the musical brotherhood that has allowed me to respect the Stones even after hearing them play Brown Sugar dozens of times.
5. Because I know a lot of other bands who could really use the entertainment dollars people will spend on seeing them live again.
6. Because it is the perfect out for the band and allows them to stop (for now) with class and true heart.
7. Because Steve Jordan can probably do an excellent job and could actually take them to a new level but won’t out of respect for Charlie and that means the Stones engine would be somewhat disingenuous in their performance, and at least the musician fans would pick up on that ....and have to be disingenuous themselves trying to convince themselves they are hearing The Rolling Stones.
8. Because Charlie is more Stones than any other member to me and I am sick at heart to think of his health failing.
I hope they figure out what I know ASAP because the legacy is at stake, certainly my undying respect.
Truly,
Naturalust

I don't get the drama here. No one here calls the shots. If you don't fancy the band without Charlie, fine, just don't go to the concerts. Problem solved. They are in their 80s soon.
What they do by now doesn't matter to me that much. They have been on overtime for quite a while now. It is what it is: 60s and 70s nostalgia for a rich, older audience.

still a projection to say that next year is the finale.

I think Steve will take part in the big bow that always preceeds the core band bow, which for this tour (I hope) is just Mick, Keith and Ronnie.
