“The Rolling Stones’ tour dates are moving ahead as planned,” says promoter Concerts West in a statement to Rolling Stone in response to the many inquiries it’s received about the status of the tour.
Set to open in St. Louis, MO on September 26, the 12-date series was already set to see Steve Jordan behind the drum kit after he was asked by Watts to stand in for him during the series while he was recovering from a recent medical procedure and before he passed away on August 24 at the age of 80.
“It is an absolute honor and a privilege to be Charlie’s understudy,” Jordan said at the time.
Jordan has been a longtime associate of the band: he played on their 1986 album, “Dirty Work”, and joined Keith Richards to form The X-Pensive Winos, in 1987.
During the fall tour, The Rolling Stones will release a series of expanded 40th anniversary deluxe editions of their 1981 album, “Tattoo You”, on October 22.
Featuring the hits “Start Me Up” and “Waiting On A Friend”, the original record has been remastered for 2021 as a standalone set, with most packages featuring a set of unreleased recordings and a 1982 concert from London’s Wembley Stadium.
