Brian Jones
Brian Jones
( 1942 – 1969 )
The founder of the Rolling Stones, he was a multi-instrumentalist (guitar, harmonica, and keyboards). Originally the leader of the Stones, he was eventually overshadowed by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. His steady drug use caused his role in the band to slowly diminish, and He was asked to leave the band in June, 1969. He drowned in his pool a month later in July.
27 is way too young, makes you wonder how good he could have been.
He is buried in Cheltenham Cemetery and Crematorium in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England.
Trivia:
He got co-writing credit for the “Rice Krispies” Jingle in 1963.
