    Rolling Stones Drummer away at 80 :(

    Gutted man.

    Another Legend away.

    RIP :shamrock::shamrock:



    Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, who helped them become one of the greatest bands in rock 'n' roll, has died at the age of 80.

    "It is with immense sadness that we announce the death of our beloved Charlie Watts," a statement said.

    It said he was "a cherished husband, father and grandfather" and "one of the greatest drummers of his generation".

    Tributes have come from stars including The Beatles' Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Ringo Starr, and Sir Elton John.

    Rest in peace Charlie Watts. Let Mick & Keith have the headlines while he was quietly doing his thing.

    Not just of the Stones, but had a pretty nifty jazz Quintet also.

    R.I.P. Charlie. One of the greats. I've been lucky enough to see the Stones live. They do put on a show, genuinely the greatest rock n roll band on the planet
