For those wondering about a word from Mick Taylor about Charlie's death, here's something posted by Marlies, MT's girlfriend:
"MT is ok, although he is trying to get his head around the awful news we received 2 days ago. I had to inform him after a friend sent me a msg.
During the '50 & Counting' and '14 On Fire' tours MT and CW renewed their friendship and had many interesting conversations while driving to the venue, and back to the hotel.
Charlie invited MT to come along in his limousine, after RS management told MT he could 'get on the bus'. Apparently Charlie enjoyed MT's company. He got into the habit of visiting MT's cabin before showtime and having a sandwich there. Behind the stage, everything revolves around the hairdresser's schedule, which results in endless waiting."

If true, how sweetly typical that Charlie offered Mick Taylor the dignity of a limo ride to the venues.

I dont get the point why people expect some private statements on social media from the inner circle, ASK your self If you handle a death of a familymember at socialmedia. Fans can do IT.

Rest in Peace Mr. Watts

Hi Everybody,
Has Mick Taylor left any statements yet about the passing of Charlie?[/quot

Has anyone offered condolences to MT? He knew CW for decades and probably adored CW. I am sure it was a shock and he is grieving. Everyone does not make public statememte about the death of a friend. At 72 he may not eben be familiar with email.
Give him time.

I love MT and his playing to death but yes I agree he has "issues". Who knows what kind of toll a life of addiction can play on your mental state. I always have some doubts about his version of events. I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he will rise to the occasion.

Sometimes silence speaks louder than words. The sense I get from MT is that he has severed himself from the RS (and the public) since he toured with them then got the royal snub when he was not invited to the Exhibitionism opening. Clearly something went down during the tour. Maybe someday we will know the inside story. He lets his GF leak stuff that often includes a snide remark about the way MT was treated by the RS.

MT is pissed off at the Stones and though he may have had a relationship with Charlie he may also see him as part of the RS institution/establishment which may put a damper on his willingness to express himself. MT displayed quite a lot of public sympathy when Bowie died.

He was not in a band with Bowie when the band created 3 of their 4 best albums. He was not in a band with Bowie when they played their great live shows. He is like a family member and family members do not need to make public statements of sympathy if they do not want to. Charlie always spoke with the highest regard for Taylor as a musician and what he contributed to the Stones. Why the hell would Taylor look to be rude or disrespectful at this point to Charlie's family. You need to go back to psychology school

you should refrain from attacking fellow posters because they have a different opinion and you should read my posts more carefully as i later say i am giving MT the benefit of the doubt.

Most of us here were shocked by the news so imagine how MT must feel. Show some respect for the man, please! He'll issue a statement if/when he feels like it.
