The city of Dartford proud of the Rock Stars Monument
The unveiling of the Mick Jagger and Keith Richards statue was originally scheduled for April, but the final ceremony did not take place until August 9, 2023. The monument was erected in the British city of Dartford, where the musicians come from. That’s why the rest of the team is missing.
The monument consists of two figures shown in dynamic poses during a stage performance. The artist Amy Goodman is responsible for the design and its implementation. In turn, it was unveiled by Keith Richards’ daughter, Angela. The originator of the whole project was the city council.
“Many Dartfordians have changed our world, but in terms of music, no one has done more than The Rolling Stones. Their work has changed the face of the popular”, said the head of the commune council, Jeremy Kite.

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards met in kindergarten, but did not keep in touch for many years. They met in 1961 at the train station. Reportedly, Richards noticed a Chuck Berry record in Jagger’s hand, which became the topic of their further conversation. In 1962, the musicians went to London to rehearse the newly emerging blues band. Brian Jones, the founder of The Rolling Stones, received an ultimatum from Jagger – the singer will join the band, but only if Richards is also accepted.
