The 68-year old drummer simply doesn't want to do it anymore. Charlie joined the Rolling Stones in January, 1963. He didn’t expect it would last. In fact, he kept his day job for several months until the band started to feel like a career. Charlie’s decision to quit the band comes a three years short of the Stones 50th anniversary.

The Rolling Stones are now denying this. "Contrary to a fabricated story that ran this morning on a small music web site in Australia, drummer Charlie Watts has not left The Rolling Stones," the group explained in a statement."

A music critic I know said he thinks it's probably true, but the Rolling Stones are trying to keep it under wraps for now.
