The Who frontman Roger Daltrey described Watts as “the perfect gentleman, as sharp in his manner of dress as he was on the drums”. “And such a pillar of strength for the Rolling Stones – to whom he brought a touch of Jazz and a mountain of pure Class. Taylor’s bandmate Brian May also posted a picture of Watts on Instagram, writing: “For some people this might be a cliche – but in Charlie’s case it’s the absolute truth – he was the nicest gent you could ever meet. The immaculate beating heart of the Rolling Stones.” Queen drummer Roger Taylor said on Instagram: “How sad, we’ve lost a true gentleman. “I knew he was ill, but I didn’t know he was this ill, so lots of love to his family, his wife and kids and his extended family, and condolences to the Stones, it’ll be a huge blow to them because Charlie was a rock, and a fantastic drummer, steady as a rock.” Sir Paul McCartney posted a video on Twitter, in which he said: “So sad to hear about Charlie Watts, Stones drummer, dying. Starr tweeted a picture, writing: “God bless Charlie Watts, we’re going to miss you man, peace and love to the family, Ringo.” Other tributes came on Wednesday from Beatles members Sir Ringo Starr and Sir Paul McCartney. He is one of just three band members to have appeared on every record and he never missed a show in 58 years. And of course, The Rolling Stones.” Tweet from death comes just weeks after it was announced the drummer, who celebrated his 80th birthday in June, was going to miss the band’s forthcoming US tour due to health issues.
My deepest condolences to Shirley, Seraphina and Charlotte. “The most stylish of men, and such brilliant company. Sir Elton John posted a picture of the pair and said in a Twitter post: “A very sad day.

You think you’ve cracked it, and you are all right, and you go to this little club in New Orleans and some guy nobody’s heard of except five of his mates who play in the band, and he’s a great little drummer.”ĭespite that, Watts managed to make a lasting impression on some of the world’s greatest rock stars. “I learned by watching the great drummers in London … and American players when they came over.” I should’ve gone to classes,” Watts said.

I should have gone to school and learned how to do it. One band is unbelievably luckily still playing in stadiums and then the other band doesn’t exist.“One of the faults in my playing, I never learned to play. That’s the real big difference between these two bands.
But the Stones went on, we started doing stadium gigs in the ’70s and still doing them now. "They did a great gig, and I was there, at Shea stadium. “So that business started in 1969 and the Beatles never experienced that," he continued. They broke up before that business started, the touring business for real.” “The big difference, though, is and sort of slightly seriously, is that The Rolling Stones is a big concert band in other decades and other areas when The Beatles never even did an arena tour, Madison Square Garden with a decent sound system. There’s obviously no competition,” he said at the time. That remark also didn't faze Jagger, who replied with a cheeky comment of his own. In another interview he declared that "The Beatles were better.” That wasn't the first time McCartney's given the Stones a hard time. Paul McCartney is here, he’s going to help us – he’s going to join us in a blues cover later.” “There’s so many celebrities here tonight,” he said during the set.
Macca's words didn't seem to affect Jagger, who actually acknowledged the diss during a concert in Los Angeles. The Who frontman's comments come after Paul McCartney called the Stones "a blues cover band" during a recent interview. "He’s the number one rock ‘n’ roll performer."īut when it came to the band's musicianship, he wasn't so nice: "As a band, if you were outside a pub and you heard that music coming out of a pub some night, you’d think, ‘Well, that’s a mediocre pub band!'” “You’ve got to take your hat off to him," Daltrey said.
