Synopsis

It's a fair bet that neither Mick Jagger nor Keith Richards will ever get round to writing their autobiographies. Even if they had a mind to, the memory sure isn't there. Over the years there have been many biographies of both some good, some bad and many biographies of 'The Stones' all pretty bad. And then there was Bill Wyman's...Separately Mick and Keith are fascinating characters, but review their lives side-by-side and we have a biography that reaches critical mass. Chris Salewicz has the perfect background to write the definitive life of the definitive rock and rollers. Steeped in the music business, Chris is a professional journalist and broadcaster who has all the right contacts. Sometime ROLLING STONE & NME journalist, founder member of MTV Europe and author of the best-selling official biography of Bob Marley, Chris has known Keith and Mick on and off since the early 70s.
