Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts has died at the age of 80.

Charlie Watts helped the Rolling Stones become one of the greatest bands in rock ‘n’ roll.

A statement from the band’s publicist announced his death: “It is with immense sadness that we announce the death of our beloved Charlie Watts.”

The statement said Charlie Watts was “a cherished husband, father and grandfather” and “one of the greatest drummers of his generation”.

Tributes have come from stars including Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Elton John.

Paul McCartney described Charlie Watts as “a lovely guy” and “a fantastic drummer” who was “steady as a rock”.

Elton John tweeted: “A very sad day. Charlie Watts was the ultimate drummer. The most stylish of men, and such brilliant company.”

The news came weeks after it was announced that Charlie Watts would miss the band’s US tour dates to recover from an unspecified medical procedure. Charlie Watts was previously treated for throat cancer in 2004.

Charlie Watts had been a member of the Stones since January 1963, when he joined Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones in their fledgling group.

He helped them become, with The Beatles, one of the bands who took rock ‘n’ roll to the masses in the 60s with classics like (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Get Off My Cloud and Sympathy for the Devil.

The statement from the Rolling Stones’ publicist said: “He passed away peacefully in a London hospital earlier today [August 24] surrounded by his family.

“We kindly request that the privacy of his family, band members and close friends is respected at this difficult time.”

In 2016, Charlie Watts was ranked 12th in Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 100 greatest drummers of all time.

The drummer is survived by his wife Shirley, daughter Seraphina and granddaughter Charlotte.

Mick Jagger is reportedly “deeply upset” after confidential medical information was revealed during a court battle over a contested insurance claim.

On November 14, the Rolling Stones settled a dispute with insurers over a $12.7 million claim for concerts postponed when Mick Jagger’s girlfriend, L’Wren Scott, died.

However, the Stones expressed concern about private information being made public.

Documents revealed Mick Jagger, 71, was suffering from “acute traumatic stress disorder” following L’Wren Scott’s death.

L’Wren Scott took her own life in March, prompting the Stones to postpone a tour of Australia and New Zealand.

Court documents suggested Mick Jagger was advised by doctors not to perform for at least 30 days.

“We are deeply upset that confidential medical and other private information about members of the band and their immediate family and loved ones has entered the public domain as a result of a US court filing initiated by insurers four weeks ago,” said a spokesman for Mick Jagger.

“This was done without the knowledge of the band or reference to their legal representatives.

“This has only been discovered and reported in the press in the last week, by which time we are pleased to say the insurers and the Rolling Stones had, in fact, settled the insurance claim.”

“No further comment will be made about this matter,” the statement concluded.

The Rolling Stones had taken out a policy to be paid in the event shows were cancelled due to the death of family members or others, including L’Wren Scott.

Underwriters had contested the claim saying L’Wren Scott’s death may not be covered by the policy, arguing that she may have been suffering from a pre-existing mental illness which could invalidate the policy.

The Rolling Stones band is facing a battle to win a $12.7 million insurance claim for the concerts they postponed when Mick Jagger’s girlfriend. L’Wren Scott, died.

L’Wren Scott took her own life in March 2014, prompting the Stones to postpone a tour of Australia and New Zealand.

The group had taken out a policy to be paid in the event shows were cancelled due to the death of family members or others, including L’Wren Scott.

However, underwriters say L’Wren Scott’s death may not be covered by the policy.

In denying the claim, they say L’Wren Scott might have been suffering from a pre-existing mental illness which could invalidate the policy.

The 12 underwriters have now won permission to seek evidence in Utah – the state where L’Wren Scott was born and raised – about the fashion designer’s mental health.

A federal judge has allowed the underwriters to gather testimony and documents from L’Wren Scott’s brother, Randall Bambrough.

Randall Bambrough told the AP news agency that he did not know about the court case naming him and had not been contacted to provide information about his sister.

According to documents filed in the court case, Mick Jagger was “diagnosed as suffering from acute traumatic stress disorder” after L’Wren Scott’s death, and was advised by doctors not to perform for at least 30 days.

The Rolling Stones began a new tour of Australia and New Zealand at the end of last month.

However, they had to cancel their Melbourne concert on November 8 after Mick Jagger developed a throat infection.

The funeral of L’Wren Scott, following her tragic suicide on March 17, will be held in Los Angeles, opposing the wishes of some of the fashion designer’s family.

With many of L’Wren Scott’s family still based in Utah, it has been unclear until now where her funeral would be held, especially with longtime partner Mick Jagger residing in LA and much of her business and life based in New York. However, it has now been reported that the funeral will be held in LA, according to a report from Page Six. Unfortunately, this decision is mainly in part due to a bitter, unresolved feud that persists in the Scott family.
