Farewell Charlie Watts
Tuesday, August 24, 2021 at 01:21PM
Charlie Watts, longtime drummer for The Rolling Stones, has died. He was 80.
It wasn't very long ago that I posted my wish to see The Rolling Stones live. Watts was already off the current tour because of an unnamed health issue. To say Watts was (is!) an icon is an incredibly large understatement. It's been a brutal year for rock musicians as we've lost so many. This news just makes me sad.
