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, an irresistible, clear-eyed portrait emerges of a band who, after sixty years, continue to break new ground. 
At the heart of it all, the unique, fractious, 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.

Phillip Schofield

For a long time, I felt that I couldn't write this book. More recently, there was a very painful consideration - I knew where it would eventually have to go. I've decided only the truth can set me free; it has taken a long time to become clear, but now is the right time to share it. 
 
 I look back with nostalgic delight on my life, introduce you to my remarkable family, take you behind the scenes of some of my television homes over the years, and hopefully show that life, it seems, is what you make it.

With his shag haircut and white Stratocaster guitar Jeff Beck was an icon. Yet somehow, he maintained the ineffable low-profile cool of a cult hero - gliding through six decades of musical trends with nary a lapse in taste. 
In his illustrious career Beck won eight Grammy Awards, was twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and recorded with some of the most important rock, jazz and soul musicians of all time, including Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Tina Turner, Mick Jagger, Morrissey and Kate Bush. 
Here, we shed new light on the elusive rock genius.
