HarperCollins Publishers has set an October 11 release date for a fully authorized and official biography of legendary THE ROLLING STONES drummer Charlie ...

He was there throughout the swinging sixties, the early shot at superstardom and THE STONES' world conquest; and throughout the debauchery of the 1970s, typified by 1972's "Exile On Main St.", considered one of the great albums of the century. "Since the beginning of this endeavor Paul has acted with insight, emotion, sensitivity and integrity. We were so very touched by the outpouring of love and support from all his fans when he died. The book was penned by Paul Sexton is an author, journalist and broadcaster who has followed and interviewed THE ROLLING STONES for 30 years. To be able, with the help and encouragement of those who knew him best, to draw on my time with this unique man and his fellow Rolling Stones to write his authorized biography is a thrill and an honor. THE ROLLING STONES commented: “Our dear friend Charlie Watts was not just a fantastic drummer but a wonderful person.

The first episode, on Mick Jagger, airs on BBC Two tonight, July 2, but all four parts will be available simultaneously on BBC iPlayer. Published on.

I am excited for viewers to experience this legendary band as few ever have before.” It’s directed by the award-winning Oliver Murray (Bill Wyman, The Quiet One) and Clare Tavernor ( Keith Richards: A Culture Show Special). Mercury Studios is to distribute the films internationally. Says president Michael Wright: “Compelling music docuseries have become a pillar of EPIX’s slate of premium original programming, and My Life as a Rolling Stone is a perfect addition to that mix.

Charlie Watts' life will be the focus of a new biography, with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards writing forewords for the upcoming book.

The Rolling Stones have since returned to the stage, with Steve Jordan (himself a member of Richards’ X-Pensive Winos side-project) taking on drums. Close to a year on from his passing, it’s been announced that an authorised biography of The Rolling Stones’ drummer Charlie Watts is on the way. “And this is his story.”

It has been announced that an “official” biography about the late Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts will be released in autumn.

Charlie’s Good Tonight: The Authorised Biography of Charlie Watts is set to be released on October 1st. “He was funny and generous and a man of great taste and we miss him terribly. Charlie’s Good Tonight features brand new interviews with Jagger, Richards, and Ronnie Wood, as well as a selection from “countless” family members, friends, and collaborators to capture every angle of the iconic yet very private drummer.

According to Deltaplex News, a new official biography about late Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, authorized by the band and Watts' family, ...

We have the spirit of Charlie playing with us all the time. People like Charlie Watts are very hard to put in a pocket. The book was written by Paul Sexton, a veteran British writer and broadcaster who has covered The Rolling Stones for more than 30 years. Charlie was the engine. Mick Jagger: “I miss Charlie on many levels. They don’t make pockets for people like Charlie. He is a totally unique guy.”

A biography on the late Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts will arrive on September 15, exploring his six decades with the Rolling Stones.

“One of Charlie’s good friends said to me that he was a very easy man to love. It’s great that his family have authorized this official biography by Paul Sexton, who’s been writing and broadcasting about Charlie and the band for many years”. Watts Was “a very easy man to love”

Jagger starts the film telling us how he despises the exact rock mythology this cliche-ridden show indulges in. Worse still, it fails to ask difficult ...

To fail to address such questions is a missed opportunity not least because Jagger is clearly articulate and not so caught up in his own myth as to be unable to think self-critically. “They’re a link,” she adds, “between the counterculture of the 60s and the commercial modern world.” After a peerless guitar intro, Jagger strikes up thus: “Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields / Sold in the market down in New Orleans / Skydog slaver know he’s doin’ all right / Hear him whip the women, just around midnight.” It’s as if the song were by not Jagger and Richards but the songwriting duo Edward Colston and Harvey Weinstein. It doesn’t. Right after Jagger indicts what documentaries do, this documentary does it once more with such a cataclysm of cliches that for a moment I hope the writer is having us on. It sounds, not just like problematically heteronormative essentialism, but also the kind of mythological hokum that Jagger himself says has dogged the Stones in their 60 years at the coal face of rock’n’roll. “He projects the wild animal that’s in all of us,” says record producer Don Was, one of the many musicians contributing their thoughts, if that’s not too strong a word.

MICK JAGGER opened up about the early years of the iconic band The Rolling Stones and admitted that there were rising tensions in the beginning.

The series is in celebration of the 60 years of The Rolling Stones and their high-flying music, concerts and presence in the music world. Mick and Keith write more than us." In a four-part series from the BBC, My Life as a Rolling Stone tells the story of one of the world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll bands through the lens of each member. "I can see how important this was, everyone was watching this. "Millions of people would watch these shows.
