The Stones, themselves, shared tributes to their personal social media accounts. Mick Jagger shared a video comprised of various photos of Watts set to “Till the Next Goodbye.” The video features an audio clip of Jagger talking about Watts saying, “I miss Charlie because he had a great sense of humor. Outside of the band, we used to hang out quite a lot and have a lot of interesting times. We liked sports. We’d go to football and cricket games. We would have other interests apart from music. I really miss Charlie so much.”
