Wow. No wonder he wasn't going on tour. Charlie Watts (2 June 1941 – 24 August 2021), founding drummer of the Rolling Stones, just died. He was considered one of the greatest drummers in history, and was the model for thousands of other drummers along the way. This leaves just Mick and Keith. By way of a tribute, if you want to hear some of the most precise and exquisite drumming in history, please visit either Mick Jagger's birthday tribute in August, or Keith Richard's birthday tribute in December, both in the archives. RIP Charlie; you were perfect as the stone faced metronome of the rock and roll circus known as the Rolling Stones.
