When:
Short story:
Brian Jones, recently sacked from The Rolling Stones, rings Shirley Arnold, secretary of the group's fan club to ask how the fans are taking the news of his departure.
Full article:
Shirley Arnold (fan club secretary) : He'd phoned me on the Tuesday before Hyde Park. After it was announced that he was leaving he was concerned about what the fans thought. I'd said I was sending the post down to him. He was telling me that he was getting things together with Alexis Korner and everything was looking fine.
Mick was always asking, 'Have you heard from Brian today?' He was genuinely interested in his welfare and what he was doing. Brian asked me if I'd go and work for him and would it make it awkward with the band? I'd said I'd never leave the office but I'd always help him. He sounded fine. I put the phone down and wrote him a two-page letter telling him what I'd said to him on the phone, that I'd always be there for him.
Jimmy Miller (record producer) : Just before his death, when it had been announced that he'd left, he got a new band together. He called me up
