Damn, he just announced he would not tour due to a health issue. Must have been serious.

Very sad. The glue of the Stones. One of the only things Mick and Keith could agree on was their admiration of Charlie. Great drummer. RIP

RIP, to a great drummer and family man. Simply the backbone, of one of the greatest bands of all-time! He will be missed.

An eccentric guy to say the least. Charlie didn’t drive yet collected / bought classic cars and would sit in them and fake drive. True per NY Post.
Funny tidbit how Keith would try to screw Charlie up in concerts by changing the beat / rhythm only to have Charlie correct it during the song. Lol.

RIP. You have to love jazz musicians, it’s all about the music with them. Its not about the fame, glitz and the “rock star” BS.

Very sad. Certainly one of the greatest bands ever, and just astounding longevity. I still listen to them frequently.
