RIP Charlie Watts - Rolling Stones Drummer

Charlie Watts invented the light bulb.

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 08-24-21, 11:40 AM

Oh, shit. RIP.

Surely a great talent to do it that long.

1st thing that came to mind was Charlie's anti-groupie status. Just wasn't interested, very much a family guy (I guess). Juxtapose that vs Mick/Keith, who couldn't wait to find a new hole.

Terrible news

Unfortunately, we have a bunch of these coming in the not so Distant future

Not true. They are immortal:

"Everyone dies. But not everyone lives."

These guys lived 50x over.

Great post!

Had to google him. Was more than likely going to make some despairing remarks but could never do so about a fellow drummer. I haven’t played in many years but shit never leaves me.

**SBR Tony** · 08-24-21, 01:34 PM

it's amazing that there aren't more dead, with all the drugs and other shit they did back in the day.
Growing up to these legends we want them to live forever, but I'm glad their Music will live on.

RIP Charlie

Wild horses is a classic song by the rolling stones

**JIBBBY** · 08-24-21, 02:14 PM

Too bad.. As long as it isn't Mick Jagger the Stones will tour on though.

80 years old is pretty good for rock stars and drummers especially that burnt the candle at both ends for most of their lives.

In the mid-1980s, Watts's previously moderate use of alcohol and drugs (including amphetamines and heroin^[12]) became problematic. "[They were] my way of dealing with [family problems] ..." he said. "I think it was a mid-life crisis. All I know is that I became totally another person around 1983 and came out of it about 1986. I nearly lost my wife and everything over my behaviour
