Ringo Starr, Bryan Adams and Liz Phair are among the musical luminaries who paid their respects to the Rolling Stones’ legendary drummer.
Legendary rock drummer Charlie Watts died Tuesday at a London hospital and his death has left a void in the music world.
A post on the Rolling Stones’ Twitter page called Watts both a “cherished husband, father and grandfather” and “one of the greatest drummers of his generation.”

My mom always claimed I was conceived during the chorus of “Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones.
Thank you, Charlie Watts. I owe you my life.
Rest In Peace. pic.twitter.com/4YRM4dXoN9— Curtis Stigers (@curtisstigers) August 24, 2021
