I'll admit, I didn't think it right to tour without Charlie. Not a bit. But now, I think the opposite- they HAVE to tour - FOR Charlie. God Bless the Rolling Stones. It's a true day of mourning for us here in this group - who don't just love the music, but LIVE the music - who measure their lives against this music - who define large chunks of our lives against this music. Mick, Keith, Brian, Charlie Bill, Mick, Ronnie, Stu - THANK YOU - and now let the shows go on - play for Charlie and all the others....

Nope

.....keep on rolling.....

I can't think about that right now

Too soon.

Go away and grow up.

Wow- I had the opposite reaction. It was one thing when the story was he was ill and planned to return. Whether they knew all along that wasnt the case, who can say. But for the dignity of this now elderly band, Id like to see the tour cancelled...some sort of tribute show when the time is right. I suspect the financial ramifications would be minimal for men so very wealthy. Just my opinion.

After all, not for us to decide!

With all due respect, f*ck right off with this ALL CAPS, way too soon topic.

RIP Charlie.

Folks--it's called AN OPINION- you can disagree, no problem. total respect. But to dismiss, insult, belittle etc simply because you think differently- well then F You.

I like hbwriter so much that it feels like someone stole his account lol.

Yeah sorry, just can't think about that at this moment right now.

everyone can say "it's too early" etc- but it's an obvious question so why not address it? anyway, like i said, i hope they play- if it's "too early" for you to process that opinion, sorry to have offended you. has nothing to do with mourning the life of this great man - on the contrary - it becomes a new way to celebrate him (in my opinion)

No offence taken, Chris, but it's too early - for me.

This is the end of The Rolling Stones and this has to be the end of The Rolling Stones.

Just a very special tribute/memorial show feat. jazz musicians?

agreed, they have too much love and respect to go on without him

They don’t have to do anything You’re selfish to think that way

Let people say what they want to say... everyone is different.

It is too early for me to think about what this means for the band/shows. I just am thinking of the loss, and it is profound.

yet it's ok or "not too early" for others to state that "it's over and they can't go on without him" -

Go away

exactly - everyone is different- but for many of the "Lord of the Flies" crew here, that's not ok.

GO AWAY.

No Charlie Watts, No Rolling Stones.

It’s over now and it’s been fantastic.

Thanks for the official announcement - I can "go away" now in good conscience

is there an off switch?

How quaint. The idea that everyone is entitled to their opinion without being called a f**** as**+++. What a pre internet idea of communication

You're not in a proper mood to argue your point right now provided you have any. I suggest you should stop riling people here up today.

Think of IORR as a "China shop" right now.

What animal is viewed with the most animosity in a China shop?

Speaking for myself, the show must not go on.
Release the last album with Charlie on druns - no overdubs/ guests - and that’s it. After all, they are THE ROLLING STONES, not the Queen...

seriously? some of you are so frail and precious that merely voicing a (heartfelt) opinion about the show going on causes such fervor and hate?

I believe touring now is more of a emotional burden than the band and us fans should endure. It's just too sad..

I think you should take a deep breath and stop jumping up and down...that's just my opinion.
