Shattered: The Rolling Stones’ 1999 Shepherd Bush Gig Arrives in November from Mercury Studios

October 31, 2024 by Joe Marchese | 3 Comments

Rolling Stones Welcome to Shepherd's Bush

The Rolling Stones have long been famed for their “secret shows.” One of those took place on June 8, 1999 when Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Charlie Watts, and company took the stage at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire, a 1903 music hall in the West London suburb. In front of an 1,800-capacity crowd including such luminaries as Anita Pallenberg, Pete Townshend, Jerry Hall, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and Bob Geldof, the World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band strutted their stuff just days before two sold-out shows at the 70,000-seat Wembley Stadium. …
