May your drums sound forever, Charlie…

With great sadness we announce the passing of Charlie Watts, a world famous drummer of Rolling Stones. To Arabian community known not only as rock’n’roll legend, but also as a passionate breeder and a supporter of Arabian horses. When not on a world tour, he repeatedly visited shows together with his wife Shirley, either as visitors or exhibitors of horses, from their stud Halsdon Arabians. Both the Arabian and the music world will miss you, Charlie…

Sincere condolences to Shirley Watts and his family.
