Nooooo!!

I knew he was recently in ill health and would miss their latest tour, but was hoping this latest news was somehow a mistake, but alas:

Charlie was one of the greatest rock drummers of the Sixties and Seventies. The perfect drummer for The Stones.

May he rest in peace.

[Groundy]

Rest Easy, Charlie, you will be missed...

[64Guitars]

Sad news. Another music legend gone.

[guitarron]

Another rock and roll royal has left us. Sad indeed

[Mike_S]

Yes R.I.P. Charlie... what a life he had though.

Mike

[Farrell Jackson]

RIP Charlie Watts...another one gone too soon.

[Oldrottenhead]

Was really upset to hear this news, he was my favourite of the Rolling Stones. R.I.P.

[Jean Pierre]

another musician of our youth who is leaving...
Beside Mick Jagger's (scenic) exuberance I liked his discretion and humility

..and then a good drummer, emulating Charlie Parker

[Ferryman]

Great drummer and, by all accounts, a great guy. RIP Charlie.
