Charlie Watts has passed away @ 80

[splinter7]

The news is being reported by BBC, citing Watts’ publicist. In a statement, Bernard Doherty said today that Watts “passed away peacefully in a London hospital earlier today surrounded by his family. Charlie was a cherished husband, father and grandfather and also as a member of The Rolling Stones one of the greatest drummers of his generation.”

Sad. Given their resilience, it seemed that all of The Stones could live forever.

Performer of the greatest drum intro ever (Get Off of My Cloud) in my opinion.

RIP, Charlie.

I'm really sad with this news.
Grown up with The Rolling Stones.

Irreplaceable imo...

Such a fantastic drummer and person.

Quite honestly, I'm devastated

Damn. That's sad news. The beginning of the end of an era.
Sadly, time is on no one's side.
RIP

About opting out of the tour, Charlie quipped, "for once, my timing was off."

I remember being mesmerised by the Rolling Stones on the TV show 'Ready Steady Go' I can't remember when exactly, as it was broadcast between 1963-66 (so I was 6 to 9yrs old), but if my memory serves me correctly they 'won' best up and coming group of the year(?) on the episode I remember watching. So RIP Charlie Watts, sadly missed.
