The Rolling Stones haven't played 'problematic' anthem 'Brown Sugar' on current tour: 'They're trying to bury it'

Legendary rock band The Rolling Stones are back on tour, and they're singing and playing in front of fans despite the recent death of founding drummer Charlie Watts, who was 80.

And something else noticeably different on this tour — so far, at least — is the absence of their anthemic song, "Brown Sugar," which the Los Angeles Times referred to as a "gleefully problematic early-'70s smash that opens on a 'Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields.'"

'They're trying to bury it'

"You picked up on that, huh?" guitarist Keith Richards replied when the Times asked him why he, Mick Jagger, and the rest of the Stones aren't playing the song. "I don't know. I'm trying to figure out with the sisters quite where the beef is. Didn't they understand this was a song about the horrors of slavery? But they're trying to bury it. At the moment I don't want to get into conflicts with all of this s**t."
