I’m so sad, because he was not only my hero, but a genuinely deep down lovely man. He was a very rare breed, and he is sorely missed. He had a truly wonderful life, and he died surrounded by his family. He held onto my shoulder once in The Bulls Head in Barnes,a jazz club, always so charming, both dry in humour and sweet in nature, A Gentleman. Truly Rest In Peace.

Thanks for the memories. RIP Charlie Watts. So glad to have seen them and got the chance to meet Charlie. Their music plays on.

Just heard it on the 7pm news. So there was a reason why they didn't tell us what exactly the "successful (medical) procedure" was he had to undergo. I already feared not all was alright. Yes, end of an era. The only consolation is to think what great people he will be jamming with now up there. RIP Chawlie.

Shocking. The world has changed.

Thank you Charlie

It’s 2:00 am here in Tokyo. Listening to “Rip This Joint.”

Rest in peace, Charlie.

Thank you for being an essential component of what has bought me so much joy over the twenty plus years. You were a fabulous drummer, and, by all accounts, a fabulous man.

After yesterday afternoon’s overindulgence, I wasn’t going to drink today. I’ve had to pour one this evening, however!

Awwww Charlie…..RIP

The glue that held it all together. Thanks for those irresistible beats, your effortless cool and those wonderful stages that you helped design.

Love to his family and to the brothers that he leaves behind.

Charlie - an inspiration to me in so many ways. A gentleman, and my #1 drummer of all time!

Rest in peace, Charlie

Very sad...He lived a good life and was one of a kind...He will live on within the music of the Rolling Stones...The heartbeat of the Stones has stopped....

The gentleman gone... love the stones, should say loved now

the greatest rock and roll band in the world - definitely

Just heard the news. By chance I had Honk on the CD player just in the middle of Tumbling Dice. Rest in peace

You have made my life a little happier Charlie.Thanks for everything.

I am in mourning...and absolutely gutted!..RIP Charlie.

RIP. A true gentleman and one hell of a drummer.

Hi folks,

I've been out of the forum for years. Reading it occasionally but not participating. But today I just wanted to give my condolences to everyone.

Can't actually believe Charlie's gone. Trying to process it.

Love to everyone here and all the Stones family.

R.I.P.
Marvellous man, marvellous drummer.

Just saw the news from CNN. No words to describe. Rest in Peace Charlie…

I took this picture of Charlie in Phoenix. I think it really shows the joy he felt playing. It was a magical concert - maybe the best one I ever attended. So sad today, but happy for the memories!

Such a shame. May he Rest In Peace.

So sad tonight
Really devastated

Rest in peace Charlie

Thank you for all the pleasure and joy you gave us

RIP Charlie My Darling
