Mick Jagger and Keith Richards Immortalized With Hometown Statues
11 August 2023
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards will forever be part of Dartford, Kent, England thanks to a pair of bronze statues erected in their honor this week.
An unveiling ceremony was held Aug. 9 at One Bell Corner in Dartford. Neither Richards nor Jagger were in attendance, however both Richards' daughter and granddaughter participated in the ceremony according to The Guardian.
THE ROLLING STONES cornerstones both attended primary school in Dartford before later meeting on a railway station in the town in 1961. THE STONES started the following year.
The new statues, which show Jagger and Richards mid-performance, were designed by artist Amy Goodman. She told The Guardian that THE STONES members are depicted as they were in the 1980s.
The statues join other tributes to THE ROLLING STONES throughout Dartford. The town is dotted with streets named after the band's songs including Little Red Walk, Angie Mews and Ruby Tuesday Drive.
Dartford is approximately 20 miles east of London and has a population around 116,000.
