A very rare opportunity to own a matt finish 12×12 inches photo hand signed by the late drummer Charlie Watts. Charlie Watts was the drummer of the Rolling Stones from 1963 until his death in 2021. In mid-1962, Watts first met Brian Jones, Ian “Stu” Stewart, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, who also frequented the London rhythm and blues clubs, but it was not until January 1963 that Watts finally agreed to join the Rolling Stones. Initially, the band could not afford to pay Watts, who had been earning a regular salary from his gigs. His first public appearance as a permanent member was at the Ealing Jazz Club on 2 February 1963. Watts was often introduced as “The Wembley Whammer” by Jagger during live concerts. In 1989, Watts was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the Rolling Stones, and in 2004, he was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame, also with the Rolling Stones. He is often regarded as one of the greatest drummers of all time! Great piece signed by the legendary drummer from one of the greatest rock n roll bands of all time! Whilst the majority of items are obtained in person by myself, a small amount have been obtained via other reliable sources.
