51 years ago this week The Rolling Stones set out on their first headline tour. Whether you adhere to their claim of being the greatest rock ‘n’ roll band in the world is subjective. Less up for discussion is the band’s storied history.  The tours, the women, the drugs, members dying, if aliens landed on earth and needed rock ‘n’ roll explained the Rolling Stones would be a good answer.

He’s always been more about his voice and has pointed out that not everyone will miss his guitar playing.
