50 years of the Rolling Stones

Submitted by Adam Sweeting on Sun, 18/03/2012 - 19:12

Activities surrounding the Golden Jubilee of the Rolling Stones will include an officially sanctioned new book of "photographs and ephemera", The Rolling Stones: 50, to be published by Thames & Hudson on 12 July 2012. That date is the 50th anniversary of their debut gig, which was at London's Marquee club, although drummer Charlie Watts didn't join until January 1963. A new documentary film, directed by Brett Morgen and charting the band's half century using masses of unseen footage and unreleased music, will be ready in September, and a Greatest Hits box set of Stones music [1] is also being mooted. But according to Keith Richards the Stones won't tour until 2013. "Basically, we're just not ready," said the guitarist, who is still feeling the after effects of a head injury he suffered in Fiji in 2006.
