extra players for live gigs

This. As I recall it was more modern times at the time, maybe late 90's or early 2000's. They were rehearsing for a tour and it wasn't cooking in the rythm kitchen.

I'm sure that both Chuck and Darryl have been very well looked after, otherwise they wouldn't have stuck around for so long. Plus, they

have the freedom to do other sideman gigs when the Stones aren't touring. Winner.

Both backing singers Lisa Fischer and Bernard Fowler have also been part of the Stones touring and recording schedules for over 30 years too, as well as working with many others over that period. Lisa also featured in the film documentary ‘20 feet from Stardom’ about backing singers which was very well received. The Stones do seem to hold on to great supporting musicians - the late sax player Bobby Keys also springs to mind.

Sadly this is all conjecture now, as it’s been reported by the BBC that Charlie has passed away.

RIP.

Just seen it too, sad news indeed.  Rest Peacefully Charlie.

I was hoping he was in recovery following a medical procedure, but sadly wasn’t to be. Absolutely gutted.

I would hate to hear Yngwie Malmsteens version of Albatross!!

Who was it that said something like  “Yngwie Malmsteen says that he is in love with the guitar; it’s obvious that the feeling isn’t mutual”.

Absolutely awful news.

 

I had been speaking to someone last week who knows Charlie and his wife and had spoken to them recently. From our conversation I didn't get the impression he wouldn't recover, maybe never tour again but...

 

So sad

Not Fade Away.

 

That's sad news.

I just imagined Mick, Keith, Macca and Ringo in one band, and it wasn't a happy thought

He used to be 'the old man' in the band when the rest were teenagers. Only right that he kicked off first.

Mr Bill Wyman is four years older than Charlie and might therefore resist the view that the Stones should croak in order of age.
