RIP and thanks for all the music. I’ve always been a big Stones fan.

sad, but 80 is a good age I guess. RIP

He backed out of the tour for health reasons, so not totally unexpected. Still sad though. RIP Charlie, thanks for all the beats.

Oh wow.

 

[Tig]

No!

He had a medical procedure a few weeks ago and wasn't going to tour. He possessed a mischievous grin that I always enjoyed seeing, and who else could hold such precise timing?

Oof. 80 is a reasonably good run, but this is still sad. One of my very fav rock drummers.

One of my very fav rock drummers.

Absolutely.

RIP Charlie. Hell of a drummer. What a legacy of tunes he has.

A very sad day. He was a huge influence for many. RIP, Charlie. And thanks for all the music.

 

[Monson]

RIP.

 

[Flamencology]

He was fantastic.

As far as I’m concerned, the Stones exist only in name now.

RIP

Part of it is crazy, but then the age factor makes it less hard to believe. We all know Keith is outliving everyone else from the band, or maybe all of us.

A legend...love the story about how he decked Jagger. Love so much of music that he's played over the years.

Hell

Absolutely one of the best rock drummers. Not flashy, but he owned the pocket.

Adios Charlie and thanks for your huge contribution to music.

Considering he has been playing with stones longer than I’ve been alive, it’s a great run.
