Brian Jones did not die naturally
The Piper of Pan was murdered
I see this is in the news again. It rolls around every 10 years with Frank Thorogood normally taking the blame. Personally I think that it was a murder ordered by the Stone’s manager at the time, Allen Klein, and carried out by Tom Keylock (who “died” 40 years to the day after Brian Jones was murdered) with the foreknowledge of Keith Richards and Mick Jagger who are talentless hacks whereas Brian Jones was a musical prodigy. I think Thorogood is innocent.
The 60s British Invasion stars mostly stole their tunes from earlier (often Black American) sources but whatever the source it is also the case that Brian Jones was the main creative force in the Rolling Stones. They are a completely different band after his departure from the band in June 1969 and his murder in July 1969. There is also the small matter of jealousy as Brian was rather more ‘successful’ with the girls if I can use such terminology. But he was also a little unstable likely due in part…
