Charlie Watts remembered by The Rolling Stones in new documentary

In honour of the 60th anniversary of The Rolling Stones, BBC has put together a four-part documentary series - partially focusing on beloved drummer Charlie Watts.

My Life as a Rolling Stone will dedicate one hour to each member: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and the late Charlie Watts. The drummer died last August at the age of 80.

The upcoming documentary series gives the remaining band members an opportunity to swap stories, share memories, and celebrate their time as a band. BBC is crafting this series with a mix of materials, both new and old footage of interviews, performances, and news including exclusive content.

The first episode of the series, shining the spotlight on Mick Jagger, doesn't come out until Saturday, July 2nd. The final episode, the one that will feature Watts, will be composed primarily of the other Stones' memories. Jagger asserts that Watts was "the best drummer England has ever produced... You can't imagine the Stones without Charlie Watts. Charlie was the engine".

The band also discusses Watts detailed packing routine, his drawing hobby, and his struggles with addiction. “People like Charlie Watts are very hard to put in a pocket, they don’t make pockets for people like Charlie. He was a totally unique guy," says Jagger before adding, “I miss Charlie on many levels… I miss him a lot”.

The entire four-part series will be available on BBC Two and iPlayer near the end of July.
