When:

Short story:

Just before midnight, recently sacked Rolling Stones' guitarist Brian Jones is found dead in the swimming pool of his home, Cotchford Farm, Sussex, England, UK, Europe.

Charlie Watts (drummer, Rolling Stones) : I was surprised when he died. He was actually getting his house together. He'd be showing me round there and he'd be painting all these walls. In those days purple walls were quite in. It was like one of Jimmy Page's homes, very nouveau.


Anna Wohlin (girlfriend of Brian Jones) : Brian had totally cleaned himself up. If anything, I was the bad one. I was doing a little amphetamine then, but Brian wasn't doing any drugs at all. And he told me to stop doing speed. He was absolutely petrified about being busted by the police and ending up in prison.


He knew he wouldn't be able to cope with that. And he was also worried about not being allowed into America because of a drugs conviction.


He didn't drink much either then
