Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood have paid tribute to their Rolling Stones bandmate Charlie Watts, who died Tuesday at the age of 80.
Drummer Watts, who became part of the Stones' longtime foursome alongside Jagger, Richards and Wood, played for the band for more than 50 years.
His bandmates led the tributes on social media, with Jagger posting a picture on Twitter and Instagram of Watts drumming.
Richards also posted a picture to his social media accounts of a drum kit with a "Closed" sign hanging over it.
Wood posted a picture of himself with Watts, adding: "I love you my fellow Gemini, I will dearly miss you. You are the best."

It’s only rock ‘n’ roll, so the Rolling Stones will play on without drummer Charlie Watts — and you’ll like it. The rock band will continue their US tour in September, according to the Sun, and the band will pay an emotional tribute to their fallen friend at their concert next month. Watts died at the age of 80 on Aug. 24. Members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood will continue their No Filter Tour in St. Louis on Sept. 26. The Post has reached out to the band’s reps for comment. Watts previously left the tour due to a medical issue earlier this month. A source told the publication, “The band wants to make the show a celebration of his life. “He was like a brother to them but they know he would have hated the thought of them canceling shows. Charlie had given them his blessing to tour without him following his operation, so they will honor his wishes,” the insider continued. The Mirror also reported the tour will continue on as planned. However, the Stones’ official website merely has a poignant tribute to Watts — a photo of him in a dapper suit — and no other information.
