The rock legends are currently on tour in South America, however The Mirror reports that a contract worker was shot dead in a botch attempt to steal money from alcohol takings from a concert at La Plata stadium, while he was in transit.
Now, the band seemed to have stepped up security as a precaution.
“Of course these things are all considered well in advance of a tour, and massive bands like The Rolling Stones are well aware of the risks posed by these places - so they take no chances," a source told the paper.
