The Rolling Stones are gearing up to release their latest album, Foreign Tongues, and now there’s a juicy new biography from author Bob Spitz that offers a comprehensive, unsparing and bloody history of the biggest rock band of all time.
The moment Mick Jagger strutted onto the stage for the first time, their fate was set. From their earliest days as blues-obsessed kids living in freezing squalor, to the first taste of fame and the day they landed in the US and went stratospheric – and all the grit, glamour and gore in between – the book uses Spitz’s own knowledge of the band along with archive Rolling Stones interviews and new commentary from their colleagues and friends.
