Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts to miss band's upcoming tour

Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts will likely to miss the band's upcoming "No Filter" tour through North America.

The news comes after Watts turned 80 in June and had undergone a medical procedure for an unknown condition. A spokesman for the stones issued a statement on Twitter stating that the drummer needs to rest and recover. "Charlie has had a procedure which was completely successful, but his doctors this week concluded that he now needs proper rest and recuperation," the statement read. "With rehearsals starting in a couple of weeks it's very disappointing to say the least, but it's also fair to say no one saw this coming."
