So very sad.... I was just watching some interviews with him and about him last weekend, and spent some time following up about his car collection. He never had a driving license, but had a glorious range of cars over the years.... ever the eccentric he would have a suit made to match the car in some way, and sit in the cars with the engines running. But never drove them.
A fascinating man and from all accounts an absolute gent.
RIP Charlie Watts.

Just the other day, I was thinking that although I am not a fan of the Stones, they are one of the oldest, true original acts still going on tour, and I should see them before they get too old. Now I guess I missed the boat.
RIP Charlie!

The same as the Golden Earring. Founded in 1961. After the news that George Kooijmans had ALS, the band quitted this year.
