Former Rolling Stone Mick Taylor To Tell All

03/11/2011
. (Gibson) Former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor will write a book about his time with the group, he told BANG Showbiz. Taylor joined the band in 1969 after the sudden death of Brian Jones and remained with them until 1974.

"I want to write a book that is honest and truthful, especially about myself," said Taylor, 62. Of his time with The Stones, Taylor said, "I kind of loved it. I loved it and I hated it. The more successful the Stones became the more seriously they took themselves."

Taylor also plans to address the impetus behind his leaving the band all those years ago. "[Why I left will] be in my book," he said. "It certainly wasn't because I didn't like the rest of the band, or had a huge falling out, or anything like that. It's much more personal than that." more on this story
