Coming just over a year after his death will be the first authorized biography on the Rolling Stones' late-drummer Charlie Watts. Watts, the Stones' musical bedrock, died of cancer last August 24th at the age of 80. The band has carried on with longtime Keith Richards' solo partner Steve Jordan manning the drum stool.
The new book, titled Charlie's Good Tonight: The Life, The Times, And Rolling Stones: The Authorized Biography Of Charlie Watts, was written by Paul Sexton and will be published in England on September 15th with a U.S. on sale date set for October 11th.
According to Best Classic Bands, “The biography includes forewords by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and interviews with the two, as well as Ronnie Wood, Bill Wyman, and many of Watts' family members, among others.”
