Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen and Bono. Three of the greatest artists in rock n’ roll history and the cover stars of the new issue of Rolling Stone, which documents the epic Rock Hall 25th Anniversary concerts at New York’s Madison Square Garden. In this exclusive video from the Mark Seliger photo shoot, we go behind-the-scenes as the three titans of rock pose for the cover of our new issue just hours before they performed on stage on October 30th. All three legends have graced the cover of RS numerous times, but never before have they appeared together.
Check out all of Bono, Jagger and Springsteen’s Rolling Stone covers.
In the new issue, David Fricke and Brian Hiatt chart the concerts’ journey from the first entreaties to artists (Led Zeppelin declined to reunite again; David Bowie couldn’t make it) to convincing HBO to air the shows as a prime-time special on November 29th to the incredible rehearsals and finally to the historic concerts themselves, which feature legends like Metallica, U2, Simon & Garfunkel, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Crosby, Stills & Nash and Jeff Beck. Our new issue also features annotated set lists from both shows, backstage photos, essays by contemporary artists like Alicia Keys and My Morning Jacket’s Jim James on the Rock Hall of Famers that inspired them and much more.
Get a look at all of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s inductees.
