The Rolling Stones certainly put their stamp on rock ‘n’ roll, and now they will be able to put their stamps on people’s mail.
U.K.’s Royal Mail announced that a set of 12 stamps will be released in tribute to the band’s 60th anniversary.
Some of the stamps will depict the group’s most iconic performances, such as the Knebworth Festival in 1976, and the Rotterdam show from the summer of 1995. The band’s memorable concert at London Hyde Park concert in 1969 is also included. That was the show held just two days after founding member and guitarist Brian Jones died.
They now become the fourth band with a stamp collection issued by the Royal Mail. The others were The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Queen. Paul McCartney, Elton John, and the late David Bowie are solo acts who have been given Britain’s stamp of approval.
The Stones’ collection will be available Jan. 20.
