Drummers are bonded together by virtue of their instrument and I am saddened that today we lost a brother. The last time I saw the @RollingStones was in the arena in Oakland where the @GratefulDead had performed many times before... (1/3) pic.twitter.com/8MV3F8qNkb

Our prayers and hearts go out to Charlie Watts family, fans and friends. The Rolling Stones drummer played on Satisfaction, Honky Tonk Woman and hundreds more. Rest In Peace, Charlie. https://t.co/TOLLj7jzkc

Playing Exile On Main Street tonight. It's the @RollingStones at their finest. A masterpiece even! And Charlie Watts holding it all together at the centre. Travel well Charlie and thank you.

RIP Charlie Watts somehow I had it in my brain that none of the @RollingStones would ever die. When I think about Charlie's drumming I think of the song Emotional Rescue and the whole album Black and Blue which is my favorite Stones album by far. A lifetime of inspiration

Drummers are the most ensnared individuals. Though they are loudest, they are the last to be heard. They have insecurities due to the fact that everyone has their back turned on them. Herein lies the band’s secret; there is no greatness- without a great drummer. RIP Charlie Watts pic.twitter.com/sAcE7SYiBY

Sad to hear of Charlie Watts passing. The Rolling Stones have always been my favorite band, and Charlie was the engine of subltle and heavy grooves. I’ll put on “Sway” which is my favorite song of all time. Any of us in a rock band wouldn’t be here if it hadn’t been for Charlie. pic.twitter.com/0GsCAIEIO3
