The Glimmer Twins in Kent, England
The statues of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones were unveiled in Dartford, Kent, in 2023. Created by sculptor Amy Goodman, the bronze statues celebrate the rock legends’ local roots, freezing the rockstars in dynamic poses that embody their stage energy and musical chemistry. The statues, called The Glimmer Twins, are installed at One Bell Corner in Dartford’s High Street, near where the musicians grew up and met as young men, later leading them to start their band. The project was funded through a public art subscription by Bellway London as part of a local development initiative. Dartford Borough Council, which commissioned the artwork, views these statues as both a tribute to Jagger and Richards’ legacy and a symbol of community pride.
