Mick Jagger shares touching tribute to Charlie Watts on anniversary of his death

Sir Mick Jagger has shared a tribute to his late friend and bandmate Charlie Watts on the first anniversary of his death.

Charlie, who played drums in The Rolling Stones for more than half a century, died on August 24 last year at the age of 80. A video posted on Sir Mick’s Twitter account featured the band’s 1974 song Till The Next Goodbye playing over a montage of pictures of the singer and drummer together over the years.

Sir Mick is also heard saying: “I miss Charlie because he had a great sense of humour and outside of the band we used to hang out quite a lot and have interesting times. We liked sport, we would go to football, we would go to cricket games and we would have other interests apart from just music.
