'Look out you rock 'n' rollers, pretty soon now you're gonna get older,' warned Bowie in 1971. But 38 years later, The Stones are still rolling on. Charlie Watts, 68, still looks effortlessly stylish, in purple cashmere cardi and crisp gingham shirt on this week's Later. Watts plays with The ABC of Boogie Woogie, and Jools Holland - can that man not leave the piano alone for one week? A fan of classic tailoring and true British style, the best dressed Rolling Stone has grown old with dignity and a wardrobe full of sharp suits. Monosyllabic he may be, but as far as we're concerned Charlie Watts speaks volumes on the fashion front.
Band-mate Ronnie Wood, 62, may have stuck with the ageing rocker, leather jacket and black drainpipes combo, but he has designed a collection of t-shirts, scarves, dresses and bags for iconic London store, Liberty. OK, so he's no Stephen Sprouse but That's Not My Age did find one splashy floral print dress that we actually quite like.
And not forgetting, Sir Mick. 'The ultimate rock star' gives an interview in the October 09 issue of Vogue. So where's Keef?
