Fact #162856
When:
Short story:
While The Rolling Stones are in Amsterdam, Holland, Europe, holding business meetings about their next album, drummer Charlie Watts floors Mick Jagger with a single punch for shouting "Is that my drummer boy? Why don’t you get your arse down here?" at 5am.Full article:
Keith Richards (guitarist, Rolling Stones) : I had taken Mick out for a drink in Amsterdam, so at five in the morning, he came back to my room. He's drunk by now. Mick drunk is a sight to behold. Charlie was fast asleep. "Is that my drummer? Why don't you get your arse down here?" Charlie got dressed - in a Savile Row suit, tie, shoes - shaved, came down, grabbed him and went boom! "Don't ever call me 'your drummer' again. You're my fucking singer."
Charlie dished him out a great fucking right hook and that was Charlie Watts saying, "You and I have had it." It was '84 or '85, and Mick was wearing my jacket at the time. It really pissed me off. Charlie punched him into a plateful of smoked salmon and he almost floated out the window along the table into a canal in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Europe. I just grabbed his leg and saved him from going out. Meanwhile, my jacket, my favorite jacket, got ruined. Why did I lend him that jacket?
That was Charlie's way of saying, "It's over, man." It went really downhill after that. If there was one other friend Mick had, it was Charlie. On top of that, Mick was very stupid. He forgave Charlie. There's nothing to forgive. Nothing left to forgive.
