2021 Losses: People, Places, Things of Import, Notoriety

I agree!

I'm going to miss Charlie. He's the only drummer I've ever seen that looked bored stiff while he was playing. LOL

Charlie always came across as the perfect English gentleman. So different then the rest of the band. His clothes, his appearance, his calm demeanour, his marriage to Shirley Ann Shepard lasting 57 years. Pretty well unheard of in the Rock industry.

We knew this day was coming.

This is a huge loss for the music world.

R.I.P. Charlie.

If I was betting person... I would have put money on Keith going first out of the 4.

Well Charlie was the oldest of them with Mick second oldest.

The closest Charlie came to playing a guitar...........

What an amazing album..........bought it the day it came out in September 1970.

.........again........RIP Charlie!

I was going by his appearance (he looked like the oldest for over last couple decades now) plus his earlier life choices.

My money was on Ron Wood going first because he has had lung cancer for many years and refuses treatment because he doesn't want to mess up his hair.

I've thought for years that they'd all go at the same time. They'd step out on stage, the lights would hit them and *poof* just piles of dust. :)

From the above article,
“ Now that he’s gone, it’s hard to see how the Stones can go on."

Now the question is What now?

I thought they'd call it quits, then I saw this:

Rolling Stones will tour US next month after Charlie Watts’ death

Charlie Watts had picked a temporary replacement for latest tour, so maybe he becomes permanent replacement.

I enjoyed Ed Asner in both MTM show as well in Lou Grant.

My condolences to his Family and Friends on their loss.
