Black Dawg Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 This has been debunked as a rumor. http://www.examiner.com/x-17121-Chicago-Live-Music-Examiner~y2009m9d3-Charlie-Watts-Rolling-Stones-gathers-no-moss-but-what-happens-when-it-stops-rolling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppFanForever Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Here's one of several reports..... http://www.undercover.com.au/News-Story.aspx?id=9154 Thanks Charlie. You'll be missed. How's it going "Wolfman?" At the age of 68, Charlie deserves to ride off into the happy sunset. THE STONES will never be the same without him. You will be deeply missed Charlie. Thanks for the thread "Wolfman" and ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From another thread: My link Keith Richards Collaborating with Jack White In the mean time, Richards is busy putting together a deluxe edition of Exile on Main Street (score!), co-writing an autobiography and denying rumors that drummer Charlie Watts has quit the Stones. By Judy Berman I think if anyone would know....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danelectro Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Yep bogus rumor. But since Charlie came up I must say I love the groove he gets on the studio version of Under My Thumb. Freakin' love his style, one my all time faves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dawg Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I might have misread the quotes. Whenever they quote inner circle and close firends, I find it too compelling to dispell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 From what I have read so far the rumor that he has quit is not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I might have misread the quotes. Whenever they quote inner circle and close firends, I find it too compelling to dispell. "Charlie Watts Quits the Stones" gets much more press than official statements from the band denying the rumors. Kind of like how bad news travels fast, the same mindset that created "if it bleeds it leads". That's just one aspect of the sad, fucked up world we live in today. At least from a media standpoint. A very wise man named John Prine once wrote a song that starts off: "blow up your TV, throw away your paper..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfman Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 I thought it was "if it bleeds, it breeds." I wouldn't be shocked it this was true though. The guy is 68 years old so how long can he keep going and still enjoy himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything's possible, particularly in the music world but for the time being it looks like it's not true. ]Rolling Stones Deny Watts Departure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of blowing up TV's, now I know why the late great ELVIS PRESLEY shot and blew up his TV's with his pistol! Ha Ha! ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
