The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. The group’s long-standing core members are Mick Jagger on lead vocals, Keith Richards on guitar, and Ronnie Wood on guitar, with Charlie Watts having served as their drummer from 1963 until his death in 2021. Originally rising to fame as the rebellious counterparts to The Beatles, the band became a major part of the British Invasion of the 1960s, helping to popularise blues-rock with a gritty, energetic sound. Throughout their career, they have produced timeless hits such as "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "Paint It, Black," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "Start Me Up." Known for their longevity, high-energy live shows, and iconic tongue-and-lips logo, they have remained one of the most successful touring acts in history. Despite the passage of decades, the band has continued to record and perform worldwide, proving their enduring influence on rock music. As of June 2026, the group continues to be active, with Jagger, Richards, and Wood occasionally performing with touring musicians to honour the band’s deep musical legacy.
