Absolutely awful.....Charlie was the soul driving force of the Stones Rhythm section. Massive loss to music in general.

Im a hard rock/metal guy but i hold the Stones in the highest regards and absolutely love that band. Terrible seeing a founding member pass

Just heard this. Tragic. Very, very sad. RIP Charlie Watts.

He did his thing and left his mark. The Stones are one of the bands I can listen to anytime, particularly for the rhythms. RIP

Hard to argue the rhythm power of Watts, Richards and Wyman/D.Jones. Can set your watch to it

R.I.P. Charlie, thanks for the tunes.

Iconic musician, truly historical impact on modern music.

If that doesn't tie a neat bow around my childhood and flush it down. EVH, Dusty Hill, Charlie Watts. I'm retired, wow, I feel really old.

I think I'm obsolete Lol. Well, I'll just go back to my typewriter and mail my answer in........

IMO this is the end of the Stones, Keith, Mick and Co. can still tour and record if they feel like it, just please respect Brian Jones and Charlie Watts memories and concede without them there is no Rolling Stones.

Just one old mans opinions and rants.

The Stones wrote the songs, but it was Charlie who showed the band how the songs were played.
The essence of Rock and Roll, the beating heart of the Rolling Stones.
Now, the longest living rock and roll band has ended.
