The Rolling Stones pay tribute to Charlie Watts as they kick off ‘No Filter’ tour
The Rolling Stones kicked off their ‘No Filter’ tour in St Louis last night (September 26).The band played without their late drummer Charlie Watts for only the second time since his death and paid tribute to him from the outset at the Dome at America’s Center.The show opened with an empty stage and only a drumbeat, with photos of Watts flashing on the giant stage screens.“This is our first-ever tour we’ve ever done without him,” frontman Mick Jagger said during the early part of the show. “We’ll miss Charlie so much, on and off the stage.” The band then dedicated “Tumbling Dice” to Watts.
