The Rolling Stones, known as ‘the greatest touring band of all time’ have sold an estimated 250 million records and in the UK, have eight number one singles and twelve chart-topping albums, so it seems only right that they should be the next music stars to be celebrated on British stamps. Mick and co. follow in the footsteps of bands The Beatles, who were featured on stamps in 2007, Pink Floyd (2016), and Queen (2020).
