GIMME SHELTER

The Rolling Stones’ former Cotswolds crash pad where they stayed before gigs on the market for £1.1m

The country retreat was owned by a pal of guitarist Brian Jones

A COUNTRY retreat which was once the bolt hole of the Rolling Stones has gone on the market.

The five-bedroom Cotswolds home was the megastars' crash pad when they played in the west country during their 1960s heyday. If walls could talk...

And one buyer could get the satisfaction of snapping up a piece of rock 'n' roll history, because the house has gone on sale for £1.1million.

Pasaderas - which coincidentally means "stepping stones" in Spanish - is hidden away in 1.6 acres of secluded Gloucestershire countryside.

It provided the raucous stars the chance to hide away from the paparazzi and adoring fans - and no doubt played host to some wild parties.

The house belonged to Kerry Hamer, a close friend of Stones' co-founder and guitarist Brian Jones.

They were both from nearby Cheltenham.

Jones tragically died in July 1969 after being found at the bottom of his swimming pool by his girlfriend.

He had left the band just a few weeks earlier after being unable to get a work permit to tour the US because of his drug convictions.

This week the Stones' Ronnie Wood was pictured cradling his twin girls on his 70th birthday - just days after they turned one.

He has been relaxing with the girls and wife Sally Humphreys, 39, since surgery to remove a lung lesion.

And guitarist Keith Richards, 73, has been selling off a collection of eye-catching oddities from his New York apartment for charity.

The wacky lots include a leopard-skin patterned high-heel chair, a tea set with skulls – and even a flower pot that looks a bit like Mick Jagger.
