There's only a transcription of their message:
Frontman Jagger said: “The thing about him was that I don’t think the Rolling Stones would ever have got going if it hadn’t been for him. He was a great player. He was a great piano player. He was a great guy that got us all together.
Lead guitarist Richards said: “The Rolling Stones are only here because of Ian Stewart. Without him the Rolling Stones would have never existed. He hooked up with Brian Jones and then Mick and I sort of waltzed in and then suddenly it became the Rolling Stones. His love of music, his choice of the guys to play with was legendary. I still have so much affection for the man.”
Watts, the Stones’ drummer, said: “He didn’t like fussy music. He liked straight-ahead things. If he didn’t want to play something he wouldn’t play it. If he didn’t like how it went he wouldn’t play it. But what he liked and what he played was very unique and very admired by a lot of piano players.”
Wood, who joined the Stones as a guitarist in 1975, said: “He was always encouraging to me throughout my opening days with the Stones and all of the rehearsing I had to do and swotting up.”
Jagger added: “He always used to talk about how wonderful Scotland was, particularly east Scotland. “And one time I went up to see where he was born and it was the most beautiful place. I always hold that in my memory and I hold him very dearly in my memory.”
