Ian Stewart

Biography

Ian Stewart was a Scottish keyboardist and co-founder of the Rolling Stones, born on July 18, 1938, in Scotland. He was part of the band from its formation in 1962, initially as a key member, but later removed from the lineup in May 1963 due to manager Andrew Loog Oldham's concerns about his image. After leaving the band, Stewart continued to work with them as road manager and pianist for over two decades until his death in 1985, earning him a posthumous induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989.
