STONES-SCHLAGZEUGER CHARLIE WATTS IST TOT
- Aug 24, 2021
Der Rolling-Stones-Schlagzeuger Charlie Watts ist mit 80 Jahren gestorben. Wegen eines kürzlich vorgenommenen operativen Eingriffs war bereits seine Teilnahme an der bevorstehenden US-Tournee der Stones abgesagt worden. Er soll in einem Londoner Krankenhaus verstorben sein. Welcher Art die Operation gewesen ist, wurde bisher nicht bekannt gegeben. Er selbst hatte sich danach zuversichtlich geäußert und davon gesprochen, sich lediglich noch erholen zu wollen. Vor 17 Jahren hatte er bereits mit Kehlkopfkrebs zu kämpfen gehabt, galt aber als geheilt.
Charlie Watts galt als einer der Grundpfeiler der Stones. Mit seiner ruhigen und besonnen Art wirkte er immer wie ein Gegenpol zu den durchgeknallten Mick Jagger und Keith Richards. Das Spiel des Drummers war vom Jazz beeinflusst, was den Sound der Rolling Stones - er schloss sich ihnen 1963 an - mitprägte.
