Description
The Rolling Stones Sixty Years by Christopher Sandford is a gripping account of the band's remarkable 60 years at the top of the rock industry. In the early days, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were just two of five young musicians with big dreams and ambitions. The addition of Brian Jones, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts brought together a unique blend of talent, creativity, and excess that would define the band's legacy. As the 1960s and 1970s unfolded, the Rolling Stones became polarising figures in Britain, admired for their flamboyance and creativity, but also reviled for their salacious lifestyles. Despite being expected to never reach 30, the band has now celebrated 60 years together with a European tour, marking a major milestone in their history. This updated edition of Sandford's biography offers a fresh perspective on the human drama at the heart of the Rolling Stones story. Drawing on interviews with those close to the band, family members, and contemporaries, Sandford sheds light on the complex mix of talent, good fortune, insecurity, self-destructiveness, and excess that made the Stones who they are today.
