What left is there to say about the Stones? A hell of a lot, it turns out. You think you know the story? Think again. Shorn of dulling layers of myth and received wisdom, an irresistible, clear-eyed portrait emerges of a band who, after sixty years, continue to break new ground and command our attention. And at the heart of it all is the remarkable, unique, fractious, co-dependent, alchemical bond between Mick and Keith, the Glimmer Twins. There's been debauchery, decadence and death along the way. Not everyone survived the journey, but the band was always greater than the sum of its parts, laying down a trail of classic albums and landmark live performances in its wake. Drawing on decades of music industry experience and five years of dedicated research, critically acclaimed biographer Bob Spitz brings a fresh eye to the epic story of the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world. In 2026 they remain in a league of their own.
