They were a great band! classic!
Yeah they've had a ton of people in the lineup in that time. Their original lineup included Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Bill Wyman.
Do any of them still perform today?
Mick Jagger certainly does! Though Brian Jones was replaced in 1969, prior to his death.
Have any other members passed away?
A few have, although Brian Jones first led the band, Jagger and Richards assumed leadership when Jones was facing personal struggles.
What kind of struggles?
employed several musicians in that role, including Jack Nitzsche (1965–1971), Nicky Hopkins (1967–1982), Billy Preston (1971–1981), Ian McLagan (1978–1981), and Chuck Leavell (1982–present).
