Perhaps a merge @Richard.Dane ?
Hoped it was fake as earlier in the week, sad news….
Knew there was something wrong when he pulled out of the Stones tour, but I wasn’t expecting this. What a shock. Charlie will be sorely missed, RIP

Thanks for starting this thread. Sigh. Well, I know which music I’ll be listening to this evening.
Dear me, two great artists in a week. Don Everley and now Charlie. RIP both, but what extraordinary lives they led.
Threads merged.
Here’s a link to the Charlie Watts thread from a few weeks back when we first heard he was ill…
Very sad to hear this news. RIP Charlie.
Really sad to hear this. I wonder if they’ll carry on once existing commitments are fulfilled.
That really feels like an era is coming to an end. Very sad. But one heck of a career.
The Stones’ engine-room, who always kept the band on track whenever it was starting to fall apart.
R.I.P. Charlie.
Booo.
Mind he was 80, though I can’t believe he’s been outlived by Keef.
Gosh……just heard the sad news, what a loss
R.I.P Charlie a true gent of music and life.
I am deeply saddened and have that pit in my stomach feeling with the passing of a true legend.
R.I.P.
Sheat…
RIP Charlie.
Keef will outlive us all, I suspect. I do worry over the state of the planet we’ll be leaving him.
Thanks for all the drumming Charlie.

If Jagger “was” the brains of this band, Charlie was the heart. Thanks for the memories.
R.I.P Charlie.
Very sad news, he will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace Charlie.
Oh dear, this is terribly sad news. R.I.P. Charlie Watts.
