A statement from his London publicist, Bernard Doherty, to the PA Media news agency said: “It is with immense sadness that we announce the death of our beloved Charlie Watts. “He passed away peacefully in a London hospital earlier today surrounded by his family.

Cavadour 2,454 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Bye bye Charlie ! The oldest one is gone first... This will lead to a radical change in the next Rolling Stones sound and feel. Charlie's somewhat askew drumming style was a strong component of the Stones signature. He'll be sorely missed !

Guest Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Rest In Peace. A legendary member of a legendary band, It was an honor as a fan to witness Gaga play alongside the stones in 2012. One of my favorite performances of all time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GucciGa 3,729 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Damn, 80 years old and still whacking those drums up to recently. I see Mick Fleetwood still at it too. I don't know how.. RIP. I think he stayed with his wife since 1964. Mick should have learned a thing or too about loyalty from him. 😇 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOT 3,187 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 RIP. The Stones are quite simply one of the alltime greatest acts in the history of popular music. Possibly coming in at number 3 after The Beatles and Elvis ? They're right up there anyway, and Charlie was a part of it from day one. A major loss. RIP.
