IT WAS front page news when the Rolling Stones played the Isle of Wight Festival in 2007.
No-one could quite believe this megawatt band had played on our little Island.
We were reminded of that fantastic performance again yesterday, when the sad news came in that Stones' drummer Charlie Watts had died.

So sorry to hear the very sad news of Charlie Watts passing. He was such a nice guy and a major influence in the music business - he’ll be sadly missed. My deepest condolences to his family and to Mick, Ronnie, Keith and all his friends and fans. R.I.P.
