Keith Richards' social media posted image for Charlie Watts sums it up perfectly:

Quite a nice article here. I haven't seen an outpouring like this for a while. Charlie Watts was really well loved and respected ... https://www.allmusic.com/blog/post/charl...-1941-2021

RON TUTT session drummer
aged 83
cause: unknown (probably old age!)
the article: Ronnie Tutt, drummer for Elvis Presley and the Jerry Garcia Band, dies aged 83 (msn.com)
his Wiki: Ron Tutt - Wikipedia
played on albums by some of the greats: Billy Joel, Carpenters, Roy Orbison, Neil Diamond etc....
probably best known as being part of Elvis Presley's TCB Band from 69-77.
so, another important yet unsung musical legend bites the dust.

Such sad news – David Longdon died yesterday following an accident in the early hours of Friday morning – a collision, it seems. Super talented multi-instrumentalist and lead singer of Big Big Train who also had a reputation for kindness – one of the good guys. He was 56 – so awful for his still young family, partner, friends, and bandmates – a horrible shock and an immeasurable loss. How fragile we are. R.I.P.
And a live clip ...
