Well take Mick or Keith out of the band and it would never have had the success they had. Although Charlie, Bill and Brian made big contributions in their own right for sure.
I always thought Mick was the closer to Charlie but I could be wrong. It will be hard for all three to go on without their mate for sure.

If the band tours without Charlie a precedent will be set - the money making machine rolls on notwithstanding the death of a founder member. So what happens if/when the same situation applies to Jagger or Richards, who would the others sign to take the place of the two most iconic figures in rock? Or would things be different then and, if so, why?

I have never read it. Thanks for the tip. Charlie never did many interviews compared to the others so it will be interesting to get his perspective.

The pain Keith surely feels must be nearly unbearable, especially given the current near sober state his mind set seems to have gravitated to.
He’s kicked a lot of habits, but this will be the toughest.
I have no doubt the decision to continue on was gut wrenching for him, and likely with Charlie’s full blessing and support, if not his insistence.
It was a matter of time before someone posted this quote, but it’s merely a small footnote in the story of one of, if not THE greatest drummers and rhythm sections in the history of rock music, if not all types of music.

The death of a family member or close friend is not like kicking a habit. It affects your heart and soul. There is a difference. It takes time to heal and grieve. For many people, they're never the same. People move on with their lives but some things are better left alone.
Of course, but not seeing the point. You're trying to make your own decision and judgment of how you think they should behave. And when I have a family member pass, we don't just say we are giving up, and no more family get-togethers.
Well to each their own. There is a respect factor and that is the point. Where I come from when a close friend or family member passes away we don't party and celebrate. People have feelings. Many are not in a mood for festivities. Sure people get together, but the things are toned down. Only selfish ticket holders would expect the band to to out and jam away three weeks after the fact. Besides, COVID is causing issues everywhere, so now you have two reasons to put it off and decide next year if it is worth continuing.

We simply don't know if Mick & Keith had the opportunity to speak to Charlie in his final moments or days prior to his death. Maybe one of his last wishes was that the Stones keep rolling. In that case al quotes from the past don't matter anymore, I think.

So you think Keith was just shootin the breeze? People don't make statements like that to get some laughs. They say it because they mean it. We are talking about mature men here not some quirky millennial looking for upvotes on his smart phone.

If people aren't allowed to change the way they felt about something from twenty-five years ago, I'd still be married to my first wife and wouldn't have my beautiful wife and daughter from my current marriage. Everyone's entitled to change.

We're not talking about females here. This is about men and a bond of brotherhood. Brothers have a bond that continue beyond the grave. Nothing society can do or cancel can change that. It has thousands of years of history etched in stone.

Mick also once said he could not see himself singing Satisfaction at age 30.

Well there you have it then, glad we now know the proper method!

For me it was out of the question that at least the forthcoming US tour will not be canceled becaus of Charlie passing. Remember, it's a million dollar business not only for the band but also for the promoters, stadium operators, merchandise and food stores, etc. In these difficult times it seems important to go on out of respect to those who depend on the tour business. And Charlie knew about it, obviously advising to tour with Steve Jordan.
Therefore they will have to decide what to do after the tour but it is no disrespect to fulfill that obligation.

Is Keith allowed to change his mind?

Common in Japan as well. Family and friends eat and drink the night before the funeral with the casket in the dining hall
