Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts dies aged 80

The Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts has died, his publicist has said.

The musician, who marked his 80th birthday in June, had been a member of the rock group since 1963.

A statement from his London publicist, Bernard Doherty, to the PA 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.”

Holy moly!
RIP pocketman

RIP Charlie, one of the best.

NYT Obit: Charlie Watts

I was never a serious Stones fan but I loved their hits and always admired their ongoing passion. Learned a lot from the times obit. Thought Watts was a hoot during the song the Stones streamed during pandemic.

RIP

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it." - Billy Graham 1981

"Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise" - Barry Goldwater

I'll repeat what I said some time ago about their 2015 concert DVD: Charlie is *on* during that concert. It's a must-see for any Stones fans. The band is tight, the song selection is great (whole Sticky Fingers album plus many others), and the vibe is almost of the earlier era.

Another! As many others here, I grew up listing/watching the Stones. What a blow!

Yes, he was. I'm glad to have that fun memory at least.
