Mick Jagger, 78, Keith Richards, 77, and Ronnie Wood, 74, are due to resume their No Filter Tour in St Louis, Missouri, on September 26.

Charlie had already pulled out of the tour following a medical procedure this month.

A music insider said: “The band want to make the show a celebration of his life.

“He was like a brother to them but they know he would have hated the thought of them cancelling shows.

“Charlie had given them his blessing to tour without him following his operation, so they will honour his wishes.”
