The Rolling Stones formed in London in 1962, emerging as a key band of the 1960s British Invasion. Originally led by Brian Jones, the band’s leadership shifted to Jagger and Richards as they developed their own songwriting, leading to classics like “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”. They became known for a rebellious, blues-infused rock and roll sound that contrasted with the era’s cleaner pop music, and have remained active for decades, though members like Brian Jones (1969), Bill Wyman (1993), and Charlie Watts (2021) have left or passed away.

Formation and early years (1962–1968)

Formation: Formed in 1962, the initial lineup included Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Ian Stewart, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts.
Early gigs: The band built a following through residencies at clubs like the Marquee Club in London before securing a record deal.
First hits: Their first singles were covers like “Come On” and “I Wanna Be Your Man,” with their first US chart hit being “Not Fade Away”.
Songwriting: Manager Andrew Loog Oldham pushed Jagger and Richards to write their own songs, leading to the 1965 international hit “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”.
Psychedelic phase: The band released the psychedelic album Their Satanic Majesties Request in 1967, but returned to their blues roots with the 1968 album Beggars Banquet.

Changes and “Golden Age” (1969–1974)

Personnel changes: Brian Jones left the band in June 1969 due to drug issues and was found dead shortly after. He was replaced by Mick Taylor.
Iconic albums: The period from 1969 to 1972 is often called the band’s “Golden Age,” producing albums like Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main St..
Controversial events: 1969 saw a free concert in Hyde Park and the tragic Altamont Free Concert, which was marred by violence.
Another departure: Mick Taylor left the band in 1974 and was replaced by Ronnie Wood in 1975.

Later career and endurance (1975–present)

Solo projects: Tensions between Jagger and Richards led to solo projects in the 1980s, but they reconciled after Stewart’s death in 1986.
Reunification and induction: The band reunited for the 1989 Steel Wheels album and tour and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that same year.
New members and awards: Daryl Jones became the bassist after Bill Wyman retired in 1992, and the band won their first Grammy for the 1994 album Voodoo Lounge.
Continued activity: The band has continued to release albums and tour, including the 2005 album A Bigger Bang, a 50th-anniversary tour, and the 2016 blues covers album Blue & Lonesome.
The Rolling Stones have announced that the band’s latest album is complete.

Due out in 2026, the new release marks the 25th studio album for the band, which released its first record, a self-titled LP, in 1964. The new album comes 61 years later, reaffirming The Rolling Stones as having one of the longest careers in rock music.

Guitarist Ronnie Wood, 78, confirmed news of the new record’s pending release in a recent interview. “You will be getting a new album next year,” he said. “It is done.”

The Rolling Stones’ last album, Hackney Diamonds, came out in 2023, and the band toured in support. No tour has been announced in support of the forthcoming record yet, but as far as Wood is concerned, it’s not out of the question.

“We are hoping to do some dates,” he said. “Hopefully we will be back out there, but I am still waiting to find out myself.” Band members Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards are 82, 78, and 81 years old, respectively, yet have shown no signs of slowing down. Despite the death of founding member and drummer, Charlie Watts, in 2021, The Rolling Stones haven’t missed a beat, touring throughout the summer of 2022 and again in 2024. Drummer Steve Jordan took over on drums after subbing in for Watts prior to his death in 2021.

The first hint of new music being in the works for The Rolling Stones came in May when Richards’ son, Marlon, said that the band was at work on a new album in an interview with Record Collector.

“They’re in town right now, recording,” he said. “I think they’re nearly done. They still maintain these ridiculous hours: after lunch until, like, two in the morning.”

For fans of The Rolling Stones and Start Me Up, 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year.
