Meanwhile, Keith Richards is still well preserved due to daily formaldehyde injections. đ

If I recall the stories correctly, he was actually pretty normal, watching all the insane circus activities going on around him.

"Back in 1984, drunk in Amsterdam after a meeting, Jagger and Richards had gotten back to the hotel at five in the morning. Jagger decided to call Charlie Wattsâ room, despite Richardsâ protestations âWhereâs my drummerâ, were the indolent words that âBrenda Jaggerâ (affectionately nicknamed by Richards, after the British novelist) uttered into the phone.
A few moments later, thereâs a knock on the door; as Richards describes in his book, âCharlie Watts, Savile Row suit, perfectly dressed, tie, shaved, the whole [bleep] bit. I could smell the cologne! I opened the door, and he didnât even look at me, he walked straight past me, got hold of Mick and said, âNever call me your drummer again.â Then he hauled him up by the lapels of my jacket and gave him a right hook. Mick fell back onto a silver platter of smoked salmon on the table and began to slide towards the open window and the canal below it.â Jagger almost fell in, except Richards caught him at just the right time.
Later on, Watts wanted to know why Richards had to stop Jagger from sliding into the canal. Keith replied in his usual sly and slightly sadistic charm, âMy Jacket, Charlie, thatâs why!â

I bought my first rolling stones album when I was 12 in 1963.
My Jr High school full of Beatles fans. The only Stones fans played guitar.

OMG, one of The Rolling Stones has finally passed on, I was beginning to think they were immortal.

Always loved Charlie,being in rock+roll that long and married to the same woman says alot about his charactor.
Keef + Mick always had the spotlight,
Charlie had the "class"
Sad day for sure.
