My childhood right there. We have a range of the Peace at Last, Five Minutes Peace, On the Way Home books all singed as Jill used to live next door to my Grandparents in Chessington.

Iā€™m sorry about the guy from UB40, but what with him and Sean Lock and so on, all these people karking it worryingly close to my age can do one.

Well, theyā€™ve already done one, but you get my drift.

Didnā€™t think he would be the first in that group to go.

So they are mortal, then? Damn :frowning:

I was just reading a HiFi Choice article and it referenced dead or likely to die musos.

Charlie was mentioned.

He was the one Stone I related to. He was an eccentric. He owned cars but didnā€™t drive. He owned horses but didnā€™t ride. He owned outfits for all of these pursuits and they all involved ties and tweed.

As a drummer, we learned that simplicity and sparing delivery had itā€™s place. He was the best possible drummer for the Rolling Stones. He was stylish and level. Married for longer than most have careers.

A sad loss.

Sad news.

Very sad indeed. He was a gentleman and nice to talk to, no airs. Only two originals left.

Indeed. The one time I had a chance to talk with him (at a drum clinic), he was warm and friendly.
A gentle man who was thrust into the limelight.
He wasnā€™t too flattering about Jagger though. No surprise.
