Paperback

Condition: Good

In 2002 the Stones celebrate their 40th anniversary. Their story - the band's rise the Marianne Faithfull Brian Jones and Altamont scandals the groundbreaking hits - is the stuff of twentieth century legend and core to popular culture. But as always Norman's skills as a researcher and biographer bring a whole new dimension to such a story. Written with a personal knowledge and the trust of the participants this fully updated version includes the Jerry Hall/Mick Jagger split and the stones' lives as tax exiles. 'The Stones are lucky to have found a biographer of Philip Norman's class' Pete Townshend 'An elegiac book a record of evanescence as much as of durability and it reminds us of an epoch that threw up lions with no more energy than it threw out losers' The Times
