The 1960’s - The Rolling Stones.

The rolling Stones were formed in April 1962 in London  by Brain Jones, Ian Stewart Mick Jagger and Bill Wyman.

They were first popular in Europe though that quickly became popular in North America during the British Invasion that occurred in mid 1960s. Having released 22 studio albums in the United Kingdom (24 in the United States), eleven live albums (twelve in the US), and numerous compilations, their worldwide sales are estimated at more than 200 million albums.

At their peak the Stones depicted the rocker as the outlaw and rebels not confined the regulations of the government and societal norms. The stones were seen as renegades who were getting detained for everything ranging from drug abuse to pissing on petrol station walls. They unfortunately provided this world of rock with one of the first drug casualties in the form of Brain Jones. Who is drowned in this swimming pool on 3^rd July 1969. He was reported to have died from ‘death by misadventure’. They provided a contrast to the Beatles who were very much the clean cut nice guys of the music scene.
