Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts likely to be sitting out the next tour. As a band, The Rolling Stones turn 60 years old next year—that’s five years away from the retirement age here in the U.S. Don’t tell its members that, though. Mick’s still doing his little chicken dance like he’s not a 78-year-old with a 4-year-old son named Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger. But, what can you say? They still got it.

However, while they’re gearing up for their “No Filter” tour, which was delayed due to the pandemic, one of the Stones will likely be staying home this go around. Charlie Watts, Stones drummer since 1963 and an 80-year-old man, will probably spend the next year at home rather than behind the drums, per a statement from the band. The news comes as the result following a medical procedure from which Watts is still recovering.

“Charlie has had a procedure which was completely successful, but I gather his doctors this week concluded that he now needs proper rest and recuperation,” said the spokesman for the band. “With rehearsals starting in a couple of weeks, it’s very disappointing to say the least, but it’s also fair to say no one saw this coming.” Watts similarly expressed disappointment with having to sit this one out.

Emmy and Grammy winner Steve Jordan, known for his work with the bands on Saturday Night Live and Late Night With David Letterman, will fill in for Watts. Like the rest of us, Jordan hopes that his time at the kit will be short-lived. “It is an absolute honor and a privilege to be Charlie’s understudy and I am looking forward to rehearsing with Mick, Keith and Ronnie,” he said. “No one will be happier than me to give up my seat on the drum riser as soon as Charlie tells me he is good to go.”
