Charlie Watts
Another chance to hear Charlie Watts discussing the musical milestones of his life in an interview with Matt Everitt first broadcast in 2011.
Another chance to hear Charlie Watts discussing the musical milestones of his life in an interview with Matt Everitt first broadcast in 2011.
Jagger's ego might always occupy the centre stage, and Richards is the archetypal elegantly wasted rocker - but the heart of the Rolling Stones has to be drummer Charlie Watts.
His distinctive and deceptively powerful drumming has propelled the group throughout their career and countless hits. Other members may come and go, but as Keith himself admits: no Charlie? No Stones.
In this rare interview, Charlie tells of his life as the least rock 'n' roll, but always charming Stone. With his deadpan with and laconic style, he recalls his pre-Stones career; the early, starving-in-a-bedsit days of what would become one of the greatest bands in the world; as well as the roots of his overriding passion, jazz.
He also sheds a light on his role in the complex relationships within the group; their golden years of recording; his own brief but hard-fought battle with heroin; and whether the Stones would, or could ever, tour again.
