Charlie Watts Stage-Used Drumhead Signed The Rolling Stones – COA BAS & PSA/DNA

In January 1963, Charlie Watts left Blues Incorporated and joined the Rolling Stones as drummer, while doubling as designer of their record sleeves and tour stages. Watts’s first public appearance as a permanent member was in February 1963, and he remained with the group for 58 years. Nicknamed “The Wembley Whammer” by Jagger, Watts cited jazz as a major influence on his drumming style. At the time of Watts’s death, Watts, Jagger and Richards were the only members of the band to have performed on every one of the band’s studio albums. Aside from his career with the Rolling Stones, Watts toured with his own group, the Charlie Watts Quintet, and appeared in London at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club with the Charlie Watts Tentet.

A Bigger Bang was a worldwide concert tour by the Rolling Stones which took place between August 2005 and August 2007, in support of their album A Bigger Bang. At the time, it was the highest grossing tour of all time, it has since been surpassed by U2’s 2009 to 2011 U2 360 Tour, placing second as of 2019.
