last year, has died after a short illness, according to a statement from her family. She was 84.
The couple became a symbol of marital stability in the freewheeling rock world, even as Charlie drummed for a band that was the most famously ribald band in music history. His low-key demeanor always contrasted with that image, rarely more so than in his home-loving habits — which to him always meant Shirley, whom he met in 1961 when both were studying at the Royal College of Art and married, initially secretly, three years later.
As for the public, Wyman recalled Charlie being confronted by a reporter from England’s Daily Express. “I emphatically deny I am married,’ he replied. “It would do a great deal of harm to my career, if the story got around.” However, Shirley decided not to lie. “We have wanted to marry for about a year, and just didn’t dare,” she said. “The months went on and we decided we could not live separately any longer. I’m terribly happy being Charlie’s wife. It’s just wonderful.
