Mick JaggerandKeith Richardswill always be remembered in their hometown of Dartford, Kent.
On Wednesday, statues of the Rolling Stones rockers were unveiled in their hometown where they first met at the train station in 1961.
According toThe Guardian, Goodman decided to depict the rockers as they were in the ’80s: “I could have gone for any time between their late teenage years to their late 70s,” she told the outlet.
Richards' daughter Angela and granddaughter Ava were present at the unveiling at One Bell Corner in the town center, per the outlet.
Dartford Borough Council leader Jeremy Kite toldBBC: “We want young creative people of today to get a little bit of the Mick and Keith spirit and pursue their dreams.”

“It needn’t be music, and they won’t be as famous as the Rolling Stones, but if they go and do their thing in medicine, the arts, the environment, that would be fantastic,” he added. “I want people to look at this and say, ‘We’re from Dartford, we can do that too.'”
“Hey Mick,” he said in the video, which he posted to X (formerly known as Twitter). “Long may we keep saying this to each other. Happy birthday Mick, have another good one. Give me a call and let me know what it’s like.”
Richards also shared a second birthday message in the post itself: “Happy Birthday, Mick. Long may we keep saying this to each other, Happy 80th! Love, Keith @MickJagger,” he wrote.
