Bernie Taupin observed yesterday’s milestone on Instagram, calling it a ”game changer.”
Â
At the same time, he offered his thoughts about a colleague’s recent passing.
Â
The songwriter wrote that he was ”absolutely devastated” to hear about Charlie Watts.
Â
He was ”not only rock and roll’s greatest time keeper but the consummate gentle, old friend and beacon of common sense. He was the living, breathing heart of the Rolling Stones.
Â
”The Stones may continue to roll but without Charlie, they will never be the same again. My heart is broken.”
