Uutinen The Rolling Stones -rumpali Charlie Wattsin kuolemasta on iskenyt lujaa kollegoihin ja ystäviin ympäri maailman. Sosiaalinen media onkin täyttynyt lukuisista surunvalitteluista ja muisteloista, joita ovat tehneet niin The Beatlesin, Kissin, Black Sabbathin, Metallican, Guns N’ Rosesin, Scorpionsin, Whitesnaken, Def Leppardin kuin System Of A Downin jäsenet.
”Charlie oli luotettava kuin kallio ja fantastinen rumpali”, toteaa Paul McCartney surullisena koskettavalla videolla.
”Hänen ainutlaatuinen tyylinsä ja tekniikkansa oli Rolling Stonesin sydän. Hän oli ja tulee aina olemaan suuri vaikuttaja meille rumpaleille”, ex-Kiss-rumpali Peter Criss puolestaan kirjoittaa.
Myös Mick Jagger ja Keith Richards ovat muistaneet edesmennyttä bänditoveriaan julkaisemalla sosiaalisessa mediassa paljon puhuvat kuvat ilman saatetekstejä.

A very sad day. Charlie Watts was the ultimate drummer. The most stylish of men, and such brilliant company. My deepest condolences to Shirley, Seraphina and Charlotte. And of course, The Rolling Stones.

Farewell #CharlieWatts Beyond the Stones, he had legit jazz chops (& big band albums of his own to prove it). One of the best. Even drum snob & notorious carmudgeon Ginger Baker agreed. May they both meet up, jam & argue good-naturedly somewhere in the cosmos #ripcharliewatts pic.twitter.com/kVlWsnRinh
