The Rolling Stones have remembered drummer, Charlie Watts, "with much love" on his anniversary describing him as a "light so bright for all of us".
The drummer, an original member of the British rock band, died on August 24 2021 in a London hospital at the age of 80.
Guitarist Wood posted a black-and-white photo on Instagram of him smiling with Watts, writing: "Miss you Charlie".
He also posted a picture of a portrait of Watts playing the drums, which appears to have been painted by Wood, as it has his signature in the corner.
