Ringo Is The Starr Drummer When It Comes To The Big Bucks

Six decades after release, The Rolling Stones' Aftermath remains the album where the band first committed fully to original songwriting and expanded their sound beyond blues roots.

The Rolling Stones have quietly unveiled the new song ‘Rough And Twisted', issued under the alias The Cockroaches as a limited vinyl release that has triggered strong fan reaction around the world.

This week marks the 60th anniversary of one of The Rolling Stones' most important early works ‘Out of Our Heads’. First released in the US on 30 July 1965 and later in the UK on 24 September of the same year and confirmed the band's global arrival.

On September 5, 2005, The Rolling Stones unleashed A Bigger Bang, their 22nd British and 24th American studio album. Now, two decades on, the record has taken on the stature of being the band’s final large-scale studio statement, a return to raw, stripped-down rock and roll after years of experimentation, production sheen, and long gaps between releases.

Here are the major music events, births, deaths and album releases on this day in music for 24 August:

The new Rolling Stones video for ‘Mess It Up’ features X-Men star Nicholas Hoult.

Personal items from the late Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts are expected to raise millions of dollars when they go to auction in September.
