Brian Jones

In memory of Brian Jones, founder member of the Rolling Stones, who died on the 3rd July 1969.  Such a tragic death, he was only 27.  The coroner's report stated "death by misadventure", and noted his liver and heart were heavily enlarged by drug and alcohol abuse.  Original Stones bassist Bill Wyman stated about Jones: "...he formed the band. He chose the members. He named the band. He chose the music we played. He got us gigs ... Very influential, very important, and then slowly lost it - highly intelligent - and just kind of wasted it and blew it all away."  Such a tragedy!
