Mick Jagger wrote in caption: « Thinking of Charlie today. » At the end of the video, he took the floor to talk about the friendship that united them: “I miss Charlie because he had this great sense of humor. And we were also friends outside the band and we went out a lot together. We liked sports, we went to see football, we went to cricket. We had other passions in common than just music. I really miss Charlie. »
