The Stones recently paid tribute to the late saxophonist Bobby Keys, who died on December 2 after battling cirrhosis of the liver. Keys was best known for his sax solo on the group’s 1971 hit ‘Brown Sugar’, and featured on the albums ‘Let It Bleed’, ‘Sticky Fingers’, ‘Exile On Main St’, ‘Goats Head Soup’ and ‘Emotional Rescue’.

“The Rolling Stones are devastated by the loss of their very dear friend and legendary saxophone player, Bobby Keys,” read a statement released by the band. “Bobby made a unique musical contribution to the band since the 1960s. He will be greatly missed.”
