I know this will be moved but Rock icons cross boundaries.

RIP Charlie!

RIP

Quote:One anecdote relates that in the mid-1980s, an intoxicated Jagger phoned Watts’s hotel room in the middle of the night, asking, “Where’s my drummer?” Watts reportedly got up, shaved, dressed in a suit, put on a tie and freshly shined shoes, descended the stairs, and punched Jagger in the face, saying: “Don’t ever call me your drummer again. You’re my ******* singer!”

Charlie Watts was also a very good artist. He was married and faithful to the same woman since 1964, lived drug and alcohol free since the early 1980’s. Beat cancer in 2004 and walked every day.

Charlie was a rare drummer. It was always about the SONG and his band mates. Didn’t need to be flashy or glorified.
Rest In Peace, Charlie.

Keith will outlive everyone on this board. Ozzy will be his pall bearer, tho.

If we open it up to drummers of any classic rock band from anywhere ... The Professor is No. 1.

R.I.P Charlie, good Dude and had his own style

Charlie had already dropped out of the (rescheduled) tour this year:

Now, whether or not they proceed with future tours/albums will be the question.

Good point (and catch). SC is one of the greats.

I was lucky to see Rush three times. My best friend saw the band about 10 shows. Neil was a monster talent — both behind the kit and penning lyrics. One of my all-time favorite rock/pop artists. Long live the memory of The Professor.
