Bogus Rolling Stones autographs are all too common and, according to former bassist Bill Wyman, the band even used to imitate each other's signatures when signing piles of records or photos for fans.

Speaking to Rolling Stone (fitting, no?) in 2013, Wyman revealed: "There were stacks and stacks of books, programmes to be signed, and we just used to grab a bunch each and sign everybody’s name. It was the only way to do it, because you couldn’t pass this stuff around. You didn’t have time; you were on stage in ten minutes".

To avoid Rolling Stone fakes, do your homework and familiarise yourself with the band members' various signatures before making your purchase.
