A really unhappy day. Charlie Watts was the last word drummer. Essentially the most fashionable of all males and such an excellent firm. My condolences to Shirley, Seraphina and Charlotte. And naturally the Rolling Stones.

Unhappy to listen to Charlie Watts handed away. The Rolling Stones have at all times been my favourite band and Charlie was the engine for refined and heavy grooves. I’ll placed on “Sway,” my all time favourite track. Any of us in a rock band would not be right here if it wasn’t for Charlie. pic.twitter.com/0GsCAIEIO3

Exile On Fundamental Road is a chaotic rock and roll masterpiece. Nothing occurred within the studio each evening till Charlie discovered the rhythm to the riff that Keith was monitoring down. As they bonded, issues occurred. He was the engine of the Rolling Stones. RIP Charlie Watts
