Rolling Stones cofounder Brian Jones was found floating face down in pool 40 years ago But new evidence suggests foul play!
When Jones, who once jockeyed with Mick Jagger for dominance of The Rolling Stones during its formative years, was found dead in a pool in 1969, the official cause of death was drowning after an unrepentant orgy of booze and hard drugs.
Stones fans for years have insisted Jones’s demise was in fact a homicide – some say by a jealous Jagger who pushed the comatose Jones into the pool — but a death bed confession by a building contractor says he killed Jones.
Now Scotland Yard is reexamining startling new facts in the case that have recently come to light that were reveled in a series of reports by Brit journo Scott Jones who claims to have witnessed the deathbed confession.
The boozy stoner Brian Jones left the Stones prior to his death – some say was booted from – and was replaced by guitarist Mick Taylor.
Taylor was later replaced by former Faces ace Ron Wood who’s been a Stones mainstay ever since despite his own proclivity for booze, drugs and nymphets.
POP FYI: It was Brain Jones who named the Stones taking their nom de rock from a Muddy Waters song.
