Mick Jagger phoned #CharlieWatts hotel room in the middle of the night, asking, "Where's my drummer?" Watts got up, shaved, put on a suit, a tie, went down stairs, punched Jagger in the face and said, "Don't ever call me your drummer again. You're my fucking singer!". Legendary.

Convinced I was about to be fired & my career was coming to an end in late 2008, I sent a demo to Xfm. Thankfully the bosses listened and didn't hate it. On January 3rd 2009, I joined. That was 14 years ago today. A few thousand shows later, I'm still on air @RadioX . Thankful 🤘
