When he was 70 he was still a drum machine with swing.

But 80?

That’s the thing. Rockers are notorious for dying early. (Or earlier than expected.) But The Stones never seem to quit. And do drummers get carpal tunnel syndrone? If they do, I’ve never heard of it.

That leaves Jagger and Richards.... Wyman has been out for years now.

Keith Richards, who just turned 143, will be on the tour...

A while back I watched a few somewhat recent Charlie watts interviews. The man is old and not even close to the same shape as mick.

He has had quite a go at it and who knows he may tour again.

I’m guessing cancer.

OMG! They should have asked Ringo! What a blast THAT would’ve been!

Watts has always been the sensible one, the grounded one.

If he says it’s been a good run but it’s all over now maybe the others should take his cue.

They could still suspend him in a wheelchair above the crowd.

I paid a lot of money to see them on their Final Tour ..... in 1990.

Yea, that Iron Lung just won’t look right on stage.

I always knew Charlie would never last in the music business. /s

Watts was ready to quit 20 years ago. He isn’t a big fan of rock and had enough money to last for a lifetime. He said Richards always kept bullying him into going back on tour.

Watt????

Well, there’s a time and season, for all things.

He deserves to give those sticks a rest.

Thanks for posting.

Smart guy ... He doesn’t want to break anything ...

Watts, who turned 80 in June

This is just sad. These guys can't possibly need the money anymore - they really need to stop.
