LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNALMick Jagger called it from the stage Saturday night, telling the crowd at T-Mobile Arena that Charlie Watts had been hanging with “the Midnight Idol himself, Wayne Newton!” True. Watts visited Newton at Casa de Shenandoah on Friday and the two legends bonded over their shared interests.
“Charlie and I had a wonderful time talking about our passion for Arabian horses and antique cars,” Newton said Tuesday. “He is a great man, and a humble man, and I was honored to welcome him to the ranch.”
Indeed, Watts and his wife, Shirley, breed and raise Arabian horses on a farm in Devonshire, England. Watts toured Newton’s stables, home to about 60 horses, during his visit. Watts also checked out Newton’s collection of classic cars on the property. The vehicles and horses are part of the public tours of Casa de Shenandoah.
