How will they pull off jumping around singing and dancing while also acknowledging this profound loss?
What are some of your ideas?

a solemn farewell, perhaps with his illuminated kit on the B stage, with the band playing dark and videos rolling...

It was reported that the band was planning some type of memorial for the tour.
"The rock band will continue their US tour in September, according to the Sun, and the band will pay an emotional tribute to their fallen friend at their concert next month."

This is likely information Contact Music gleaned from speculation right here at IORR. No one "inside" is talking.

Clarence Clemons died in 2011.
Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band on almost shows of the Wrecking Ball Tour in 2012, stopped after few minutes the song "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" when Bruce was in the middle of the crowd.
90 seconds with Clarence's videos on the big screen. No music, just the people clapping their hands.
And after this break, the show came back with an extraordinary energy on the stage and in the crowd.

Thats more like it.
This is a Rolling Stones concert this isn't a memorial service. Have a small film tribute and that's it. All this talk about dancing and parades is a slap in Charlies face. He would hate that.

If you read the thread, no one was actually suggesting that nonsense.

No, dude...you clearly missed it. I do understand English isn't everybody's first language, and that not everyone reads well, nor is familiar with the New Orleans Jazz Funeral concept.
As I said...not literally do that, but the TENOR--the vibe, the feel, the essence, the musical arch--of the show starting slow and somber and becoming increasingly joyous and celebratory.
Gosh...I guess I should have compassion that some people seem still to be very wound up about COVID and apparently other things going in their lives to make bizarre, off-base, and hostile jabs such as some of these. I'd forgotten that element does come onto IORR to vent their spleen...anonymously. I'm Susan Doran--who are you, hiding behind "cool" names and spewing bitter venom?
As to "justin" - thanks I like your ideas too.
And thanks, Mr DDD, for pointing out that I didn't suggest having a parade...sheesh!
PS - other than the Stones themselves, there's rarely if ever been another band that has launched a tour 1 month after one of the core founding members has died. And there has never been a circumstance where that member had been part of the core of the band for 60 years---e.g., Bruce Springsteen put off touring for 9 months after Clarence Clemons died, that was his choice but the point is: there's no valid comparison there. The Stones may be stoic and British, but you-all don't know anything about what they would want, or about their emotional lives, or how they are taking this. We-all can speculate. But what's happened here is completely unprecedented. People insisting "the show must go on," business as usual, regular setlist--seem to be in denial, and/or projecting their own inability emotionally to process Charlie's death onto the band and their purported "wishes."

And I do wish people (not you, Swiss) wouldn't decide that they know all about "what Charlie would want".

More like Mick with get up there in a little girls dress and mumble some incomprehensible verse out of some obscure text before the band proceeds to slaughter their new single, to massive applause of course. And lets not forget the thousands of overheated butterflies fluttering by.

Sorry - you're saying my idea is "tacky"...? How so? I'm thinking you must not have understood what I conveyed, which is the farthest thing from "tacky."
I'm thinking maybe people on IORR don't know what a New Orleans jazz funeral is like.
