60th Anniversary Documentary Series My Life as a Rolling Stone

The Rolling Stones celebrate their 60th anniversary with the documentary series My Life as a Rolling Stone. It features “intimate portraits” of the musicians, complete with previously unreleased footage and exclusive interviews with each band member. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts each have an hour-long episode dedicated to them.

Concert recordings, archive interviews, appreciations

The episode about drummer Charlie Watts, who passed away last year, tells his story through archival interviews and tributes from his bandmates and fellow musicians. Other Rolling Stones admirers such as Chrissie Hynde, Slash, Rod Stewart, Tina Turner and Steven Tyler also have their say in the documentary series. Produced by Mercury Studios for the BBC, the series features concert footage interwoven with interviews new and old. It has already been broadcast by the British television station; from August 7th she can also be seen on the US pay-TV channel “Epix”.

My Life as a Rolling Stone is co-produced by Oliver Murray and Clare Travenor – both of whom have worked on other Stones-related projects. Three years ago, Murray directed the documentary The Quiet One about co-founder and bassist Bill Wyman. In 2010, Travenor was responsible for a TV special about Keith Richards on the occasion of the publication of his autobiography “Life”.
