Available now at Bennies Fifties – your specialist in music books and rock ’n’ roll history!

From smoky London clubs to sold-out stadiums around the globe, The Rolling Stones became one of the most influential and enduring rock bands of all time.
In The Rolling Stones – The Biography, acclaimed author Bob Spitz delivers the complete, raw and fascinating story behind the band that changed rock music forever.

The complete story – beyond the myth

Bob Spitz spent more than five years re-examining one of the greatest stories in popular music history.

Through extensive new research and countless revisions, he reveals just how much control the band maintained over their own narrative for decades.

Spitz’s greatest strength is his ability to see the bigger picture.He understands where the magic of the Stones comes from — and isn’t afraid to cut through the myths, clichés and rock ’n’ roll legends surrounding the band.

Mick & Keith – the heart of the Stones

At its core, this is the story of two boys from England:
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

Their unique friendship, creative chemistry and turbulent bond form the beating heart of The Rolling Stones.
A relationship tested time and again by fame, addiction, ego and life on the road — yet somehow never broken.

Other members, such as Charlie Watts, found stability within that dynamic, while musicians like Brian Jones and Mick Taylor struggled to survive under the shadow of the band’s two towering figures.

Darkness, excess & timeless music

This is not a polished success story.

The book explores the darker side of the Stones’ journey: excess, tragedy, conflict and the emotional cost of global fame.

Yet ultimately, it is the deep connection between Mick and Keith — both to their music and to each other — that elevates them beyond ordinary rock stardom.

That connection made The Rolling Stones truly larger than life.
