Mick Jagger Honors First Anniversary of Charlie Watts Death

Mick Jagger honored the primary anniversary of the passing of his longtime bandmate Charlie Watts with an emotional video. The video shows The Rolling Stones drummer over time to the tune of “‘Till the Next Goodbye” by The Rolling Stones in addition to a voiceover by Jagger.

The video begins off with a picture of a younger Watts wanting and smiling on the digital camera, then reveals photographs of him at rehearsals and reveals, on an airplane, in addition to photographs with Jagger and with the remaining of the band.

Jagger’s voiceover (which begins on the 1:11 mark) says, “You know, I miss Charlie because you know he had a great sense of humor and we also were outside of the band, you know, we used to hang out quite a lot and have interesting times. We loved sports, we’d go to football, we’d go to cricket games, and we would have other interests apart from just the music. But you know, of course, I, you know, really miss Charlie so much.”

The tribute video, which you’ll watch beneath, ends with a picture of Jagger embracing Watts tightly as Watts smiles. The late drummer was with The Rolling Stones since 1963 and handed away a yr in the past in a hospital in London on the age of 80.

The Rolling Stones performed their first present with out him on Sept. 21 and Jagger said to the viewers “it’s a bit of a poignant night for us because it’s our first tour in 59 years that we’ve done without our lovely Charlie Watts.”

He devoted the present to Watts by saying, “We all miss Charlie so much. We miss him as a band, we miss him as friends, on and off the stage. We’ve got so many memories of Charlie, and I’m sure some of you that have seen us before have got memories of Charlie as well. And I hope you will remember him like we do. So we’d like to dedicate this show to Charlie – let’s have a drink to Charlie.”
