The Rolling Stones pose outside of London’s famous Marquee club today. It was fifty years ago – the band played it’s very first gig here … Happy Birthday!

The band was put together by guitarist Brian Jones who tragically passed away in 1969. He was replaced by Mick Taylor who remained with the group until 1975.

Taylor was replaced by Ronnie Wood who remains to this day. Bill Wyman – the original bass player left following the 1989 tour and was replaced by Darryl Jones who remains to this day.

The ‘fifth’ Stone – Ian Stewart, was the band’s original ‘boogie woogie’ piano player as well as their tour manager. He passed away from a heart attack in 1985.

Sax player Bobby Keys has been with the band since 1967.
