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.

Shirley Watts, the wife of the late Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, has died at age 84 following a short illness.

Late Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts will feature on the band's next album, Ronnie Wood has revealed.

Members of the Rolling Stones touring band will get together for three nights at the end of August to perform a tribute to the late Charlie Watts.
