Tribute: The Rolling Stones will reportedly alter their world famous logo on their upcoming tour in tribute to their late bandmate Charlie Watts (L-R, Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts in 2016).

Change: Sir Mick Jagger, 78, Keith Richards, 77, and Ronnie Wood, 74, have decided to make their tongue logo from red to black in memory of drummer Charlie who died last month aged 80.

Sam Cutler, the band's former tour manager said it was fitting to learn his funeral had been private and believes he would have hated 'the fuss' that involving the public would have brought.

He also said the drummer was completely devoted to his wife Shirley and would spend all his money on tour on phone calls with her.

It had been announced on August 5 that Charlie would not take part in the upcoming tour due to a recent emergency surgery and had been replaced with Steve Jordan.

He said in a statement: 'After all the disappointment with delays to the tour caused by Covid, I really don’t want the many Stones fans in the States to have another postponement or cancellation
