ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - The Rolling Stones went back on tour Sunday in St. Louis, but it was the first time in nearly six decades that they performed without drummer Charlie Watts on stage with them.
He died last month at 80-years-old.
"This is our first-ever tour we've ever done without him," Jagger said. "We'll miss Charlie so much, on and off the stage."
The show began with an empty stage and a slow, steady drumbeat. Then photos of Watts flashed across the screens on stage at the Dome at America's Center. See more photos below:
