wow. very sad

Oh dear. Very sad.

Very sad, and one of the best dressed men London has ever seen.

Big jazz musician, and whilst the Stones was his job, his real passion was jazz drumming.

Held in high esteem by Ginger Baker - must have been good!

That's awful news to hear RIP.

 

[Lefty]

A legend indeed

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

No way. Can't believe one of the stones has died. Always seemed a class act did Charlie.

 

[Muttley]

RIP Mr. Watts.

Thank for the paradiddles and all that, but mostly for being in The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World 1963-2021

Top, top drummer, RIP Charlie. One of the Stones passing is really scary.

 

[Ingleby_Flash]

Respect to him, always seemed like a nice geezer. They all seemed happy campers tbf. I always felt surviving the industrial quantity of chemicals they consumed in their younger years gave them a fresh look on life in later years, just my view.

RIP sir.

 

[Red_tiff]

Wanted them all to go on forever, class act. RIP.

 

[Nosmo-King]

Another of my musical heroes gone. Is this the end of the Stones?
RIP Charlie and thanks for the good times.

RIP Charlie. Another of the rare breed you rarely hear a negative word about.

 

[Berwickhillbilly]

Such sad news.
Been my favourite band since the early sixties, so glad i saw them again at Edinburgh a few years ago.
RIP Charlie, and thanks for the memories.

They announced last week that he was missing the start of the rescheduled tour of the US because he was going into hospital. I guess it was more serious than they were telling.

Charlie's good tonight ain't he?
RIP.

So very sad - I wouldn't have thought the rest of the boys would want to continue without Charlie - but you never know.

 

[SmallTown]

Aw man that's sad news. You just assume the Stones will always be there.

First band I took my now partner to when we were courting.

"I've got tickets to go and see a local band playing round the corner, fancy it?" It was them at Twickenham. Glad I got to see them beforehand
