British rock band The Rolling Stones바카라™ frontman Mick Jagger has explained the band바카라™s decision to continue touring, despite their drummer, Charlie Watt바카라™s death in August this year.

바카라œWhen he was sick, he said 바카라˜You바카라™ve gotta just carry on and do this tour. Don바카라™t stop because of me,바카라™바카라 Jagger told Howard Stern during his radio show on Sirius XM.

Jagger, who recently returned on the road for the band바카라™s 바카라˜Get No Filter바카라™ tour, also said that returning for live shows was easy for the band. 

바카라œCharlie was the heartbeat for the band, you know, and also a very steady personality. He was a very reliable person, wasn바카라™t a diva 바카라” that바카라™s the last thing you want in a drummer. He was a very quirky guy,바카라 he said, however admitting that performing without Watts, who had been the member of the band since 1963, was never going to be the same.

바카라œWe really miss him, You know, we did so many shows with him, and so many tours with him, and so many recording sessions, it바카라™s strange being without him,바카라 he said.  

Since 1963, Charlie has been a member of the Rolling Stones. Apart from Jagger and Richards, he is the only member who has appeared on all of the band's studio albums. Watts was introduced to Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, and Keith Richards while playing drums in London's rhythm and blues clubs in the 1960s, and the three invited him to join their group in 1962.

The Stones have 11 more stops on their Get No Filter tour.
