How sad that the soberest, least drug-abusing Stone passed away first.


Rest in peace, Charlie. You led a good life.

reply

Rest in peace, and now you've got a chance to find out what kind of unholy deal Kieth Richards made.

reply

Ever hear of Brian Jones?

reply

He died so long ago, I decided not to count him.

reply

Brian Jones was arguably the biggest druggie of them all. He was fired for being unable to even play his instrument.

reply

He also stayed with wife #1. Although he might have had flings. I never heard anything scandalous about him. May he RIP.

reply

Or salacious.

reply

I've heard that he was actually faithful to his wife, even when the band was on tour.

I have no idea how true that statement I heard was, but even an intent to be faithful put him in a class of his own among the rock stars.

reply

It might be, if it is good for him.

“ But Watts' calm, collected outward presence internally unravelled in the 1980s as he battled a drink and drug addiction that even saw the band's hellraiser in chief, guitarist Keith Richards, tell him to "get it together".”

When Keith f***ing Richards tells you you have a drug problem...........you REALLY have a drug problem!!!!!!!

reply

Why the judgement? Are the others more worthy of death? And he’s struggled with sobriety himself so your statement is wrong anyway.

reply

ANYBODY KEITH RICHARDS OUTLIVES GOT THE SHORT END OF THE STICK.

reply

He was older than Richards tho.

reply

🤷🏾‍♀️

reply

Meaning that he won't outlive him til he's 81.

reply

Are the others more worthy of death?


Yeah. I'd say so.

reply

He was still pretty old tho.
