The story:
His face is on the front pages of all the papers this morning, even the Financial Times finds room, and that’s because Charlie Watts, who died yesterday at the age of 80, was no ordinary drummer, keeping the beat for no ordinary band.
The Rolling Stones will live on, but something essential, something really fundamental to the sound they created, has gone.
