"Legacy" is a fan invention.
No one remembers Muhammad Ali's last fights.
20 years from now it will be their recorded output, kind of as it is now, not because they did shows with partial lineups or because of the Las Vegas 2016 setlist.

This is just a question, does anyone think that by going ahead with this tour without Charlie, plus COVID, and playing to half filled stadiums is the way to finish their illustrious career??......

Do you actually know what tainted means? The reasons you give do not apply to a tainted legacy.
To you probably......Quote

Ropeni's call. It's a fair and legitimate question, maybe not the 'right' use of words ( I don't know his/her first language) but I believe everyone here has a right to post their questions, concerns, and beliefs.
You don't have to like or support them and if the 'topic' doesn't fit your narrative, move on to the next.
I read everyone whether I agree, like, or support, or not.
'nuff said.
Have a great Sunday all!

If the tour happens it won't be to half-filled stadiums.
And the 60th anniversary will (probably) be the last tour we'll remember them by - most likely with Charlie in the line up.
So... this might be a moot point, imo.

Agree. It was pointed out by another poster also. I don’t think he knows what it means also.
Thank you for the explanation Green Lady,l stand corrected,maybe as someone else wrote Diminished may a better description.....Quote

The legacy can only be tainted by finding out something about their earlier career and the things we remember them for that makes them less valuable than we thought they were. Jimmy Savile, for instance, has a tainted legacy because we now know things about him that most of us didn't know at the time. Leaving Charlie out of the lineup temporarily for good and sufficient reasons is not remotely in the legacy-tainting class.
Thank You. and ur correct English is may second language,so diminished,my be a better description of what l was trying to ask...Quote

it is what it is and the answer lies in the eyes/ears of the beholder.
for many, this will be there only chance to see the Stones. So, I imagine for them, the answer is a resounding "no"
for others who have been around since the Jones era, this is probably a bit of a let-down.
for me, I feel the Stones have always done as they pleased....so Eff-it. Rock on. Roll till the wheels come off. Live your life as you see fit. I love that they are continuing for that alone.
It's not my favorite "Stones" move, but whatever....
To answer your Q: IMO, their legacy is rock-solid for now...that is, until the Wokesters come after them.
I honestly do not think "history" is going to be as kind to the Stones as many might think....the whole "cultural appropriation" thing is probably gonna get even more traction in the future....it will likely be after the Stones are gone and probably most of us as well. But I do believe there will be an examination of their so-called "White Privilege"...and it might not go well for them.
IMO
FYI - I am NOT saying this is justified (or unjustified)...I just think it is gonna happen.
on another note - not everybody on here speaks English as a first language...cut them a little slack on their word-choice. Cut ALL of us a little slack on word-choice. Geebus. I think it was quite clear what Ropeni meant, so I don't understand splitting hairs over the definition of the word.
I think Hairball hit it on the head. Well stated, man.
(Ropes - I would've chosen "diminished" but hold nothing against "tainted"...I got what you meant)
