DECEMBER 18
IN 1975, SIX YEARS AFTER CO-FOUNDING THE ROCK GROUP ‘FACES’, ROD STEWART ANNOUNCED AT A PRESS CONFERENCE IN LONDON THAT HE WAS LEAVING THE BAND IN ORDER TO PURSUE A SOLO CAREER. AFTER THE BREAKUP, ROD STEWART CONTINUED A SUCCESSFUL SOLO CAREER AND GUITARIST RONNIE WOOD JOINED THE ROLLING STONES.
ON THIS DAY IN 2004, A GUITAR PLAYED BY GEORGE HARRISON AND JOHN LENNON SOLD FOR $570,000 AT AN AUCTION IN NEW YORK. HARRISON USED THE GIBSON SG GUITAR DURING THE RECORDING OF THE ‘REVOLVER’ ALBUM AND BY LENNON DURING ‘THE WHITE ALBUM’ SESSIONS.
