between Dartford and London to attend his classes.
• After he discontinued his studies to focus on his band, Jagger soon added a new member,
guitarist Keith Richards; the two were childhood friends, and grew up in Dartford together in
the early 1950s, even though they did not meet again until 1961.

with them.
• Under the supervision of their manager Andrew Loog Oldham, the Rolling Stones marketed themselves
as a band of wild and rough rockers, which contrasted them from the Beatles.
• The band’s wild style helped them find a deal with Decca Records.
• Jagger was instrumental in the group’s success and rise to popularityby 1965, and drew audiences with his
stage performances and sex appeal; in an interview in the 1966 film Charlie Is My Darling, Jagger said, “On
stage, I suppose there is a sexual thing between the audience and the group. As far as lyrics go, sex
doesn’t play as importantpart as is generally believed”.
• Earlier in the same film, Jagger stated that “You’re not the same person on stage as you are the rest of the
time”.

13. Tragedy Strikes (cont.)
• By the summer of 1969, the Rolling Stones dealt with several big changes.
• Brian Jones left the band in June following his many drug arrests that kept him from
leaving the country for the group's American tour; he was replaced by twenty-year-
old guitarist Mick Taylor, who would play with the band until 1974 (the year after his
departure, he was replaced by Ronnie Wood, who has since been a member).

• The coronor's report concluded that Jones was under the influence of drugs and
alcohol at the time of his death, and ruled his passing as "death by misadventure."

• Throughout the 1970s, the Rolling Stones released several hit albums: Sticky
Fingers (1971), Exile on Main St. (1972), and Some Girls (1978).
• By the mid-1980s, relations between Jagger and Richards were strained.
• Jagger focused part of his time on a solo career with mixed results; after the Rolling
Stones released Dirty Work in 1986, relations between Jagger and Richards worsened
after Jagger opted out of touring the album in favor of starting work on his second
solo album (see below).
• His first solo album, 1985's She's the Boss, sold well enough to go platinum, but his
second solo album Primitive Cool (1987) did not interest music purchasers; it only
reached No. 26 in the UK and No. 41 in the U.S.
• Jagger only promoted the latter album with tours in Japan and Australia; he chose
not to tour in the U.S. or the UK.

21. Branching out (cont.)

• Jagger and Richards, who by now put aside their differences, decided to work
together again; as a result of their efforts, the group released Steel Wheels in August.

record, the Rolling Stones launched the Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tour.
• After the Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tour, Jagger attempted a third solo record,
1993's Wandering Spirit; it was met with moderate enthusiasm.

Lounge (1994).

23. Branching out (cont.)
• In between recording Bridges to Babylon (1997) and A Bigger Bang (2005) with his band, Jagger
again sought to establish himself as a solo artist with Goddess in the Doorway (2001).
• He also developed a career for himself as a film producer, and worked on such projects as The
Women (2008) and the upcoming animated work Ruby Tuesday.
• Once seen as a defiant rocker, Jagger was the subject of decorum when he was knighted in
December 2003 for his contribution to music, which was met with mixed reactions from his
fans, some of whom were disappointed that he accepted the honor as it appeared to oppose
his anti-establishment views.
• His knighthood also led to some tension between him and Keith Richards, who was displeased
when Jagger, the only member of the Rolling Stones to be knighted, accepted what Richards
saw as the “paltry honour”.
• Richards also said that he did not want to perform with someone with a “coronet and sporting
the old ermine. It's not what the Stones is about, is it?”, to which Jagger replied: “I think he
would probably like to get the same honour himself. It's like being given an ice cream—one
gets one and they all want one.”

• When he learned of her suicide, Jagger wrote on his website and on his official Facebook page: “I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way. We
spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves. She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me. I have been touched by the tributes that people
have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received. I will never forget her.”
