Anyone who receives mail from Great Britain may be able to see the Rolling Stones say hello from their letters or parcels in the coming weeks. The Royal Mail will be issuing a special stamp set with photos of the rock band on January 20, as the British company announced on Tuesday.

The stamps show both group portraits of the musicians and recordings of legendary concerts by the band – from an early black and white photo from London’s Hyde Park in 1979 to a performance in Düsseldorf in 2017.
The Stones, which are celebrating their 60th anniversary this year, are only the fourth volume to which the Royal Mail is dedicating its own stamp series. Previously, this honor was bestowed on the Beatles, Pink Floyd and Queen. Long-time Stones drummer Charlie Watts died in London last year at the age of 80. Just a few weeks later, the band performed once more with a tribute to their deceased colleague.
