Two somewhat famous people in the American sports world passed away this month who were Stones fans.
Sportscaster Greg Gumbel and Seattle Kraken owner David Bonderman.
Former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason wrote on Twitter:
Greg Gumbel touched the lives of many with his warmth, professionalism, and humor. His love for the Rolling Stones was one of shear joy. He leaves a legacy behind that serves as a reminder to cherish our relationships and the impact we have on one another. May his memory inspire everyone to live with the same kindness and passion that he demonstrated.

And this is from an obituary on Bonderman:
Bonderman also was known for throwing lavish birthday parties. The Rolling Stones played at his 60th birthday bash, and former Beatle Paul McCartney headlined his 70th birthday soiree. Both events were in Las Vegas.
