Got to say, be it from 60yrs on, how they manage the energy required for a gig.
A drummer must sweat out in a 1/2hr gig like playing 4 football matchs in 1.
Oxygen and blood transfusions, that's how they do it, we are talking folks here with serious money, who never did a hard day's graft as adults, never worried about electricity, gas or water bills, they had others to take their stress away, he was 80 years old he should not of been working, on tours etc, maybe take a leaf from Mich Fleetwoods life and retire gracefully!

It's not a put down on Charlie, he was old enough to know better, but he died naturally like old folk should, in bed surrounded by family and friends, they are all the same rock stars and their ilk, the only sad death in my opinion was the assassination of John Lennon 8th Dec 1980, that was on par with King and both Kennedy's.

Am sorry if you dont like my opinion, but its an opinion only, am I sorry he died, well I will tell you that after they publish cause of death!

Cheers Billy
