The Rolling Stones recently played their first show without longtime drummer Charlie Watts who joined them in January 1963. It took place at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts – a private event organized by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft. It served as the unofficial debut of the band’s new touring drummer Steve Jordan, and they powered through a 14-song set.

“Itโ€™s a bit of a poignant night for us,” frontman Mick Jagger told the crow. “This is our first tour in 59 years that weโ€™ve done without our lovely Charlie Watts. We all miss Charlie so much. We miss him as a band. We miss him as friends, on and off the stage.”

“Weโ€™ve got so many memories of Charlie,” he continued. “Iโ€™m sure some of you that have seen us before have got memories of Charlie as well. I hope youโ€™ll remember him like we do. Weโ€™d like to dedicate this show to Charlie.”

This was the Stones’ warmup gig before they resume with the 2021 leg of their No Filter Tour at the Dome at Americaโ€™s Center in St. Louis, Missouri.
