Charlie Watts – A total Gentleman, class act, and personal friend. His drumming was much like his personality- consistent, unique, honest, supportive, and timeless. I’m sending my condolences, love and support to the entire Watts and Rolling Stones Families.
Drummers are bonded together by virtue of their instrument and I am saddened that today we lost a brother. The last time I saw the @RollingStones was in the arena in Oakland where the @GratefulDead had performed many times before… (1/3) pic.twitter.com/8MV3F8qNkb
But being in the audience, I got to experience that show as a fan. I even paid for parking! When the Stones brought out @tomwaits to sit in on “Little Red Rooster,” one of my friends reminded me that the Grateful Dead had played that very song in that very room. (2/3)
Charlie had his own feel for it and I loved it. I always admired his steadfast approach, ability, and style. Rest in peace, brother. 🥁 (Always a favorite – I just love this song > https://t.co/btDfMemMLN)
