Ten never-before-seen tour photos of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones

Bob Bonis was never one to brag. Even after he managed the famed mid-'60s U.S. tours of both the Rolling Stones and the Beatles, he never really called attention to himself or flaunted his close connections. Now, nearly a half century later, the very private man is posthumously getting his due: a newly discovered cache of 3,500 images that he snapped during the respective bands' moments of downtime have even the most jaded memorabilia experts salivating. Click through to see 10 of the new finds, which are slotted to be part of a 50-work photographic display that will open March 4 at New York's Not Fade Away Gallery.

    Anyone know if there's any truth to the rumor that Ringo is dying?

    These Photographs are interesting but not anywhere among the best. These bands were shot by much better photographers such as Terry O'Neill, Ethan Russel, Jim Marshall, Gered Mankowitz, Robert Freeman, Dominique Tarle and Robert Whitaker, not as fan snaps but as lasting impressions of artists who changed the face of music and changed with it.
