Charlie Watts - R.I.P.

[South-Punk Admin]

Southend Punk was extremely saddened to hear of the passing of legendarily Drummer Charlie Watts. Charlie provided the Rock 'n' Roll heartbeat to The Rolling Stones and created the foundation to drive the band forward though the decades.

I was lucky to see him perform with The Stones many times, and will always especially remember shows at The Brixton Academy and Shepherd's Bush Empire in the '90s where band members and audience alike celebrated his very special spirit and masterful playing.

R.I.P. Charlie
