    The Rolling Stones accidental blues
    Musicians are mourning the death of Charlie Watts, the drummer who provided the backbone of the Rolling Stones’ songs for more than half a century.

    Bernard Doherty said Tuesday that Watts “passed away peacefully in a London hospital earlier today surrounded by his family.” He was 80.

    “Charlie was a cherished husband, father and grandfather and also as a member of The Rolling Stones one of the greatest drummers of his generation," Doherty added.

    Paul McCartney reacted to the heartbreaking news in a one-minute video posted to his Twitter account.

    "So sad to hear about Charlie Watts, the Stones drummer, dying. He's a lovely guy and I knew he was ill but I didn't know he was this ill," McCartney said in the video. "Lots of love to his family, his wife and kids and his extended family, and condolences to the Stones. A huge blow to them because Charlie was a rock, a fantastic drummer. Steady as a rock."

    Nice snippet from Wiki . Very self effacing .

    -------when the group was invited to the
    Playboy Mansion during that tour, Watts took advantage of Hugh Hefner's game room instead of frolicking with the women. "I've never filled the stereotype of the rock star," he

    remarked. "Back in the
    '70s, Bill Wyman and I decided to grow beards, and the effort left us exhausted."

    Watts was a true talent, and he will be sorely missed.

    RIP, Charlie.
