I had to wander over to my local surgery to pick up a prescription earlier and I happened to be wearing my 'Voodoo Keith' t-shirt (the Ronnie did).
As I was stood there waiting for this woman in front of me, she turned round and instantly said "Oh, that's so outdated that is!" (I guess meaning 'how can anyone still like the Stones?!'). We bothed sort of chuckled (me thinking 'oh, just @#$%& off bitch!'). Anyway, she started blathering on about how her daughter rides by Charlie Watts' place and how he's always immaculately dressed and sometimes Jagger comes over etc; etc; blah; blah.... of course, he's recovering from throat cancer... blah, blah...then she says: "...and of course, now his wife's gone off..." rolling her eyes as if to say 'she's left him'.
Sorry it's a bit long winded, but has anyone heard about this???
I spoke to my ex-wife, who still lives in Dolton, Devon, where Charlie & Shirley's Arabian stables are (I used to live there myself up until 11 years ago) and she confirmed that Charlie and Shirley have split. Source is one of their stable workers. Very, very sad after all these years and what they've been through together. Hope they work things out.

Wow, I can't imagine what happened. That makes me very sad.

She's going to take half of all his stuff. It's going to be pretty hard for him to drum with just one drumstick.
This is a very small village, only around 800 residents or so and a very remote, hard to find place as it's not on a main drag from one major town to another. Great place to live but everyone knows everyone else's business. That's what got me divorced when I was living there. 3 pubs for that number of people, meaning you get a lot of gossip going on and whatever is going on gets out. That's the way it is in small places like that & having a celebrity living among you means there is always a lot of interest in their business, and most of the workers there are locals and they do like to talk, especially after a beer or two. I understand that it is Shirley who has left. Chris

Maybe that guy from Def Leppard will sell him some of his special drum kits (seeing as he's probably not using them anyway, hehe)

Maybe Charlie's old friend Bill Wyman will give him some tips on picking up women now that Charlie's single again.

That's probably not going to work. I see Charlie as a man who has discriminating tastes, and Bill, um... not exactly choosy, is he?
Bill: Hi, my name is Bill, do you have a vagina. Woman: Yes, of course I do. Bill: Great, you're just my type, fancy a drink?

Bill is discriminating. The women he dates must be young enough so that their mother's are the same age as his son in case he wants to double date.
This is not recent news, I heard this same story at least 1/2 to 2 years ago. At that time it was a groundskeeper. I am not sure if this is just a rumour or if they really did split? They have kept it fairly quiet if it did happen. Sad, sad, sad.
