I believe Charlie will quit the Stones after their next tour in 07 because he's not getting any younger & he's the oldest member after Bill Wyman left the group.  He's the conservative Stone of the band since he's never been as wild as Mick & Keith in over 40 years as well as being one of rock's greatest drummers.  I would be shocked as an fan if Jagger got another drummer to replace him for possibly one more album & one more tour but I wouldn't doubt it either.

I wouldn't be particuraly shocked if any of them quit, apart from Keith Richards, and jagger, So i don't know why you've singled out charlie Watts here, apart from your single reason of 'he's not getting any younger'..well none of them are..and nor are you wayne.

Speaking of Bill Wyman, my dad was with him the other week, and a evening where he got presented an award! Said he looks really good for his age/

Charlies not going anywhere. Why would he? The Stones are his big payday. He doesnt even work hard when he plays with the Stones. He has way more chops than the Stones exploit, considering his jazz projects.

If he has any brain cells left he'll quit.......
