'The Rolling Stones' were forced to miss the funeral of their drummer Charlie Watts due to covid restrictions
According to British media, 'The Rolling Stones' had to stay in Boston due to restrictions caused by the pandemic.
Sir Mick Jagger, 78, Keith Richards, 77, and Ronnie Wood, 74, were unable to attend a small private funeral ceremony for their drummer Charlie Watts in Devon last week.
According to British media, 'The Rolling Stones' had to stay in Boston due to restrictions caused by the pandemic, where they are rehearsing for their world tour, which starts on September 26 in St. Louis, Missouri.
The musician passed away on August 24 at the age of 81, and the funeral was held without much fuss according to his family’s wishes.
The band members said goodbye to their longtime fellow member via social media.
A few days after his death, Rolling Stones members also shared on social media a video made up of recordings and photos taken during Watts's long drumming career.
Charlie joined the then-new band back in 1963, after meeting Mick, Keith, and Brain Jones during gigs at rhythm and blues clubs. Along with Mick and Keith, he performed on every studio album of the band and was considered one of the greatest drummers of all time.
The death of Charlie Watts is confirmed by his London publicist Bernard Doherty.
"It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our beloved Charlie Watts. He died peacefully in a London hospital surrounded by his family," Doherty said in a statement.
