Brian Jones : Bones And Jones


 Lewis Brian Hopkin Jones 

( February 28th 1942 – July 3rd 1969) 

was an English musician 

and one of the founders of 

The Rolling Stones. 

Initially a slide guitarist

he went on to play 

electric guitar, 

sing backing vocals

 and play a wide variety

 of instruments

 on Rolling Stones recordings 

and in concerts.

After he founded 

the Rolling Stones

 as a British blues outfit

 in 1962 

and gave the band 

its name, 

Jones's fellow band members

Keith Richards

and 

Mick Jagger 

began to take over

 the band's 

musical direction, 

especially after they became a

 successful songwriting team.

When Jones developed

 alcohol and drug problems,

 his performance in 

the studio became

 increasingly unreliable, 

leading to a diminished role 

within the band he had founded.

 In June 1969,

 the Rolling Stones 

dismissed Jones; 

guitarist 

Mick Taylor

took his place in the group.

 Less than a month later,

 Jones died by

 drowning at

 the age of 27

in the swimming pool 

at his home at

Cotchford Farm, East Sussex. 

His death was referenced

 in songs by many

 other pop bands, 

and 

Pete Townshend 

and

Jim Morrison 

wrote poems about it. 

In 1989, 

he was inducted into

 the Rock and Roll

 Hall of Fame 

as a member of 

the Rolling Stones.
