Charlie Watts
 

Dead at 80.Very sad news.

Very sad indeed....and Charlie was the laid back and quiet one.

Saw the Rolling Stones numerous times.....always one of the Best Shows!

RIP.

I was eating dinner with a "blind date" with another couple at Taylor Street Bistro in Chicago in the early 2000's. All of a sudden Mick Jagger and his entourage walked in and sat at the table next to us. I was told later that Charlie Watts was one of the other "older" guys with the group. I believe they had just performed at Soldiers Field that afternoon/evening.

TOO Bad... Great time keeper. They once set up a metronome to test his timing, it was perfect!. ... Danny

One of the greatest drummers in the rock era. I always thought of him as the one who held the Rolling Stones together. May he rest in peace.

Sad news... RIP

How blind was the "Blind Date?"

I assume you were more mesmerized by the Rolling Stones than your date? I would have been :)

Just think...if you would have had kids with her....you very first boy would have been named Charlie, Keith, Ronnie or Mick Hanke :)

Cool Story.

He made it look easy. RIP Charlie

Today was the first time I heard the story about him putting on his finest suit to go punch Mick in the face: https://consequence.net/2021/08/char...d-mick-jagger/

Great story thanks for posting.Jagger can be a pompous ass for sure.

Still can't believe it. Some people you think are immortal. We will always have the recordings, the proof of his greatness. Godspeed Charlie.

They will be in Austin on November 20, I believe they had already realized Charlie wasn't going to make the tour.

Charlie stayed real. Never displayed the 'celebrity ego' that most of those people assume. Godspeed Mr. Watts.

Hope they retire after this tour.It's time.

Charlie's wife Shirley passed in December.They were married 57 years.RIP.
