In 1965, as a twenty-five-year-old photographer, Bent Rej was assigned by a Danish newspaper to cover The Rolling Stones' European tour. Rej developed an immediate rapport with the burgeoning British Invasion band, especially with Brian Jones, who became a close friend.

With a camera always on hand, Rej took some of the most iconic, behind-the-scenes shots of the most influential rock musicians of the era, including: Mick Jagger Keith Richards John Lennon Paul McCartney Roger Daltrey Pete Townshend Ray Davies And many more.
