See ya, Charlie

 

[occupant]

Wow.

saw news recently he wasn’t touring, but didn’t know he was sick sick

was called “the human metronome” due to his impeccable timing.

RIP Chuck

Damn

RIP Charlie, was fortunate enough to see the Stones a couple times.

Damn.

Sad. But falls into the category of “ I thought he was already dead”

Heard he was in the hospital earlier this month but even though he was 80, this was unexpected. I suppose it's Jagger, Richard, and Wood who will live forever. Greatest rock band of all time.

Another musician from the soundtrack of my life is gone.

Damn.

Godspeed Charlie

 

[outofyourmind]

I only got to see the Stones once.

R.I.P.

Can't believe Keith outlived him.

Watts survived throat cancer in 2004. “It’d be nice to be rich and grow old,” Watts told Rolling Stone magazine in 1997. “I’d hate to be shuffling ’round Brixton Market in a pair of slippers. Then again, I’ll probably be shuffling ’round the garden." Watt's net worth was over 200 million dollars.

The Stones formed in 1962 and have been making music for 60 years. Talk about longevity. These guys are old!
