The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has opened up about losing Charlie Watts in a new interview.The longtime Rolling Stones drummer died at the age of 80 last August prompting a huge outpouring of tributes from the music world and beyond.Speaking to The Sunday Times about Watts, Jagger said: “I don’t really expect him to be there any more if I turn round during a show.

But I do think about him. Not only during rehearsals or on stage, but in other ways too.“I would have phoned him up and talked about last night’s Arsenal game because he supported Tottenham and I’m Arsenal.

I miss him as a player and as a friend.“In the show, when we come to the front and bow at the end, there’s no Charlie. He’d always be the last one down.

I’d go: ‘Come on, what have you got to do?’ He’d be fiddling with his sticks because he always had to have them in a row before he’d get off the seat.”Last week, The Rolling Stones confirmed that Echo And The Bunnymen will support them during their gig at Anfield in Liverpool next month.The show will form part of the Stones’ ‘SIXTY’ UK and European anniversary tour, which kicks off in Madrid on June 1 and visits cities including London, Amsterdam and Paris.The Stones announced on May 17 that Echo And The Bunnymen, who hail from Liverpool, will support them at Anfield on June 9.
