The Rolling Stones are reportedly under 24-hour armed guard after a gig worker was shot dead during the band’s South American tour.

Pedro Luis Tabares was killed in an attempted robbery on Thursday after the group’s second gig at the Estadio Unico stadium in Buenos Aires.

The band have apparently stepped up security in the wake of the killing, which has happened at the start of their tour.

The 55-year-old contractor was a passenger in a Toyota Hilux being driven by his boss Marcelo Rivera at the time of the attack.
