Well if you get to live for 80 years and also get to be the drummer in one of the most famous rock bands of all time, that's a pretty good run. RIP

Charlie had a great jazz album covering mostly 30's songs called "Long Ago & Far Away". One of my favorite drummers and will be missed.

That’s sad to hear… his beat on Honky Tonk Women was among the more recognizable song openings ever. You’d always hear cheers from the crowd when that intro kicks in! Thank you for the music, Charlie! RIP

Thanks Ahazz. It seems you and Les were adding this at almost the same minute.

When members of old bands suddenly come off a tour its not good. First Dusty and now Charlie. Don't know of Don Everly was going to tour.
