Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts has won a battle with throat cancer, lead singer Mick Jagger said.
Watts, 63, was diagnosed with cancer four months ago and recently finished a successful six-week chemotherapy treatment at a London hospital.
“Charlie has had all his treatments and he’s now been cleared and is free of any illness,” Jagger told the Daily Mirror of London. The chemotherapy left Watts weak, and he will spend time recovering with his wife, Shirley, before going back to work, the Mirror reported.
