Featuring forewords from bandmates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards,
this is the official and fully authorised biography of the world's
most revered and celebrated drummer. Mid-1962. The newly formed
Rolling Stones are on the hunt for a permanent drummer. Their
sights are set on Charlie Watts, a jazz musician already well-known
within London's rhythm and blues clubs. Fortunately for future
Stones fans the world over, they persuade him to take on the job.
Once installed at the drum seat, Charlie would not miss a beat for
the rest of his life. He was there throughout the swinging sixties
as the Stones reached superstardom and for the well-documented
debauchery of the 1970s, typified by the iconic album Exile on Main
St. Battling his own demons by the eighties, Charlie emerged
unscathed, cementing his reputation as the thoughtful, cultured but
no less compelling counterpoint to his more raucous bandmates. For
almost 60 years - through all the band bust-ups, bereavements and
changes in personnel both on stage and off - Charlie remained the
rock at the heart of the Rolling Stones. At the same time, he was
the antithesis of the rock-star archetype, an intensely private man
who valued his family above all else. Drawing on new interviews
with his family, friends and former bandmates - including Mick
Jagger and Keith Richards - Charlie's Good Tonight is the
remarkable life story of Charlie Watts: official, authorised and as
it's never been told before.
