    I didn’t even see the news yet this morning. When I checked my Instagram feed just about every musician I follow had posted a photo of Charlie. Across all genres it’s great to see how respected he was and how much he’ll be missed.

    RIP to a real class act.

    "We are so deeply, deeply saddened to hear of Charlie Watts passing.
    The impact he’s had on musicians and listeners across the planet is profound.
    His drumming style and drum sound will live on forever in the songs. The songs that are forever in our hearts. That’s where Charlie will be now. We were so lucky to have him.
    All our love and support to Mick, Keith, Ronnie and all of the Stones crew and family.
    It was a true honor every time we were in his presence." - Eddie on behalf of Pearl Jam (Facebook)

    This is an excellent read. I especially love Springsteen's drummer's story of making Watts' day bringing along drummers HE admired to a show.  Love it all.

    Also, if you can, donate to the Guardian, it's an amazing paper & it's a good thing if they survive financially.
