On August 4, Watts reportedly withdrew himself from Rolling Stones’ upcoming pandemic-postponed U.S. tour, saying that he needs some time to recover from an unspecified but “successful” recent medical procedure. However, Charlie’s spokesperson mentioned that he has had a procedure which was completely successful, but he gathered his doctors this week and concluded that he now needs proper rest and recuperation. Some unconfirmed reports also said that had undergone heart surgery. Following Watt’s withdrawal from the tour, drummer Steve Jordan, a longtime associate of Stones guitarist Keith Richards had filling in for the tour.

However, Rolling Stones’ final public appearance with Watts on drums was a broadcast in April 2020 which was more of a filmed appearance for the “One World: Together at Home”, for which a typically contented-looking Watts

played “air drums” to a pre-recorded track on a fresh version of ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want.’ In his last moments, Watts was with his wife and daughter Serafina.
