The Formation and Early Years
The Rolling Stones were formed in London by childhood friends Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, who bonded over their shared love of blues music. They soon joined forces with Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, and Bill Wyman to complete the original lineup.

The 1970s brought even more success for the band with the release of landmark albums like “Sticky Fingers” (1971) and “Exile on Main St.” (1972). These records featured timeless tracks such as “Brown Sugar,” “Wild Horses,” and “Tumbling Dice,” solidifying their status as rock legends. The band’s ability to evolve with the times while maintaining their signature sound kept them at the forefront of the music scene.
