(CelebrityAccess) – The Rolling Stones’ 60th Anniversary will forever be remembered as the Royal Mail is releasing a stamp collection in celebration. The Stones are the fourth rock band to be honored with their own stamp collection in the United Kingdom (UK). They now join The Beatles (2007), Pink Floyd (2016), David Bowie (2017), and iconic rock band, Queen (2020).<\/p>\n

Designers from the Royal Mail worked with band members themselves and their management to create the collection. Eight of the stamps will include snapshots of shows over the course of their career such as New York (July 1972), Tokyo (March 1995), and London’s Hyde Park (July 1969). The legendary Charlie Watts, drummer for the band who passed away in 2021, will also be included in a special tribute stamp of him performing from Germany in October 2017. The remainder of the stamps will feature shots of the band and promo posters they used for past tours.<\/p>\n

“Few bands in the history of rock have managed to carve out a career as rich and expansive as that of The Rolling Stones. They have created some of modern music’s most iconic and inspirational albums, with ground-breaking live performances to match.” ~ Royal Mail Director, David Gold in a press release<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
