So upset when I heard about this.  I liked him SO much!  I wasn't that much of a fan of the Stones, but I sure liked him and Bill Wyman.  So much better than Mick and buddies. They were older, much better musicians.  Both came from Jazz backgrounds.  Bill has a wild streak in him, but Charlie was laid back, conservative.  Stayed married to his first wife, etc.  A good guy.  I'll miss him!

@Witchy Woman. When Justin wears those tight leather pants, I can barely stay in my seat. 😜

@golding76   Re your comment about him looking the 'healthiest' brought back a memory.
 
Last time - before Covid  - we saw them and went backstage to me Charlie always  had an almost transparent, very pale, skin tone - very porcelain looking - the others all somewhat sun tanned, wrinkled,

etc. but he was always very 'fragile'  looking to me but a great drummer and gentle man!

@dulwich. "...and went backstage..."

Oh how I envy your past!  🤩

@Pearlee  The nice thing is though... us 'oldies' watching 'oldie bands' in concert always remember each other and always great to meet and greet again and talk 'old times'.

DH does not like rock concerts but just goes  backstage - in U.K. or here -  to chat with his old mates - me out front a rocking' to this day he comes back and says 'saw so and so' dropping a name - me never even knew they were about!

Charlie was 80 years old.  May he rest in peace.

Just as I clicked on your post, my favorite local talk radio host was playing this on his show.

May Charlie rest in peace.
