This Day in Rock History - Dec. 16th

It’s been a great day for break-ups in rock.

1974: Mick Taylor, who replaced founding member Brian Jones, announces he's leaving the Rolling Stones. He'll be replaced by a former member of the (Small) Faces, guitarist Ron Wood.

1974: Glitter rockers, Mott the Hoople call it quits.

1983: And the Who officially break up (again). Like past break-ups, this one doesn’t last either.
