Brian Jones
On sale
20th December 2011
Price: £10.99
In this definitive biography of Brian Jones, Laura Jackson – the first to insist that Jones was murdered and the first to identify his killer – rejects the stereotype of a narcissistic rock star who was doomed to self-destruct.
Instead, she spoke to the people who knew him best: his family and friends, girlfriends and confidantes, the musicians and friends who lived and worked with him right up until his death in 1969. Jones emerges as a man of immense talent, energy and humour, but crippled by insecurities and shyness – a portrayal greatly at odds with the sordid rumours that plagued him throughout his life, which continue to this day.
Jackson provides new testimony on the rivalries within the Rolling Stones and the bitter final split, together with telling details from the pathology and coroner’s reports, to tell the story behind the headlines and get to the heart of the mysterious death of Brian Jones.
