And everyone thought Keith would be first.

He always had that wonderful non-plussed look on his face. Totally unfazed by it all.

I always assumed that was the drugs.

And everyone thought Keith would be first.

He will live for ever, he has every drug invented in his system.

And everyone thought Keith would be first.

Satan doesn't want the likes of Keith, it would lower the tone of the place.

Cool guy, jazz drummer too. Dry wit. Did well to make 80. One of the greats of rock and roll history.

He had his own big band I believe.

I too was brought up on Merseyside, but preferred the Beatles. But then in 1969, moved to near Dartford in Kent, home of the Rolling Stones. Liked them both.

I believe Charlie Watts was also a cycling enthusiast. I saw him at the Skol Six, walking into the centre.

RIP

Sad, sad, news. Amazing any of them have lasted as long as they have.

Jagger is amazing, I think he is also an advocate of the type of exercise that you claim to take in later life
If anyone I thought Keith Richard would be the first to go with all the stuff he's ingested.

RIP Mr Watts. For me, quite easily the coolest member of the Stones. Great drummer, will be missed.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Satan doesn't want the likes of Keith, it would lower the tone of the place.

And be a bugger to recycle I'd say.

Seems to have died 3 times.

Yes - I think he actually did

Charlie steals the show in the Monty Python promo without saying a word.
