Did You Know: Brian Jones
June 18, 2007 by Jo Minor
Did you know that Brian Jones was the original leader of The Rolling Stones? Largely unheard of except by the true fanatics of the band, Jones became one of the worst victims of the lifestyle of a rock star, and succumbed to its many temptations.
Jones underwent periods of depression due to substance abuse, and had a troubled personal life as well. He was also very paranoid - even more so after Eric Clapton left his and Cream and was rumoured to replace his position within the ranks of The Rolling Stones.
After finally being told to leave the band in May 1969, he was found dead in his swimming pool in the wee hours of the 3rd of July, of the same year. He was only 26.
