Viva Brasil!

Philip has just been featured in a flurry of articles in the Brazilian press to publicise the first-ever Portuguese edition of According To The Rolling Stones, which has just been launched by Cosac Naify, the São Paulo-based publishing house. Thanks to the energies of the company's inhouse press office João Perassolo, Philip and his co-editor on the book, Dora Loewenstein, were interviewed for cover stories in the review sections of both O Globo and Estado De Minas, with more to follow. Brazil hosted the Stones' biggest-ever gig (one of the world's largest gigs ever) when the band played to an estimated million-pus fans on the Copacabana beach in Rio, in February 2006, during their A Bigger Bang tour.
