Who are The Rolling Stones?
Singer Mick Jagger and guitarists Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood are the current members of The Rolling Stones.
The bands’ drummer Charlie Watts, who joined the band in 1963, died of an unspecified illness last August at the age of 80.
The musicians had been playing together as a foursome since 1994 before Charlie’s death in 2021.
During the tour dates this summer, Charlie Watts will be replaced by Steve Jordan, a session musician who has played with the band since the 1980s.
Steve Jordan joined the band when they performed shows in the US last year.
The band was first formed in 1962, and has previously included Brian Jones, Ian Stewart, Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor as members.
