Book description
Brian Jones, multi-instrumentalist, visionary and the 'golden boy of
the '60s', was, at the age of 27, the first rock casualty of his
generation. A strange, somewhat impenetrable character, Brian Jones
was a founding member and guiding spirit of The Rolling Stones. Adored
and misunderstood in equal measure, Jones was perhaps the most
creatively ambitious cultural force of his time, an artist whose
commitment to the experimental and exotic remains profoundly
influential. Always unconventional, Jones's voracious appetite for
life's extremes led to unparalleled debauchery, drug and alcohol fuelled
paranoia, and ultimately personal ruin. 27: Brian Jones is the third in
a series of exclusive music ebooks, an ambitious project examining the
perils of genius, celebrity and excess. Other titles in the series
include 27: Amy Winehouse, 27: Jimi Hendrix, 27: Jim Morrison and 27:
Kurt Cobain. Brian Jones, multi-instrumentalist, visionary and the
