Charlie Watts, drummer of the rock'n'roll band the Rolling Stones, died on August 24, his publicist said. Charlie Watts passed away at the age of 80. “He passed away peacefully in a London hospital surrounded by his family,” Bernard Doherty, his publicist said. Watts was known as the quiet man of the legendary British rock'n'roll band. The band helped define the sixties with hits such as "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". Recently, the legendary drummer announced that he would miss the resumption of the Rolling Stones' tour of the United States next month after undergoing a medical procedure. Charlie Watts, while exploring drumming as a boy, converted an old banjo that had a skin covering into a snare drum, as per the Rolling Stones' official website. Watts had no formal training. He learned by watching great jazz drummers in London clubs. He was named the 12th greatest drummer of all time by Rolling Stone magazine in 2016. Watch the video to know more.
