The Rolling Stones are set to have their 60th anniversary celebrated with four BBC films that will each concentrate on one of the band's stars.

Personal and career stories of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and the late Charlie Watts will be told through a special feature film dedicated to each of them this summer as part of a wider season of programming to mark their 60 years in music.

My Life as a Rolling Stone tells the story of one of the world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll bands in a unique way by delving into the memories and passions of each musical genius to see how they came together as a groundbreaking group.

Each hour-long film will include access to unseen footage and newly-filmed interviews with Jagger, Richards and Wood, and archive interviews with Watts who died in August 2021.

Watts' story will also be told in tributes from his bandmates and those who loved him, while other musicians inspired by their work including P.P. Arnold, Chrissie Hynde, Slash, Rod Stewart, Tina Turner and Steven Tyler will appear in each of the films.

The Rolling Stones have provided the blueprint for many a rock band to come after them and the films will show how they overcame tragedy and controversy to make names for themselves as music superstars.

Jagger's film examines how his creative vision, talent and style drove the band to success over decades, while Richards' instalment looks at his passion for playing live and trying out different musical styles.

In Wood's film, viewers will see how the irrepressible star carried his band through their toughest times and whether his excesses proved too much for the group.

Fans will see the band pay tribute to Watts and watch archive interviews with him in his film, which looks at the life of the quiet, un-rockstar-like drummer who held the band together but never gave in to the temptations of fame.

There'll also be concerts and documentaries available on BBC iPlayer and a documentary on BBC Radio 2 as well as the four films which will air on BBC Two, all coming this summer.

Ukraine recaptured more territory around Kyiv from Russian soldiers who left shattered villages and their own abandoned tanks as they moved away from the capital, while a disputed cross-border strike in Russia complicated peace talks on Friday. In the hamlet of Dmytrivka to the west of the capital, smoke was still rising from the wrecks of armored vehicles and the bodies of at least eight Russian soldiers lay in the streets, Reuters correspondents saw. "From one side we were hearing the tanks shooting at us, and from the area of Bucha was a massive mortar shelling," said resident Leonid Vereshchagin, a business executive, referring to a town to the north.
