Putland witnessed John early in career,

when he was working at a prolific rate,

and says of this image:

Michael Putland's shots of rock royalty – in pictures

Putland is said to have snapped

pairs images of the many stars he captured over his 50-year career

– including the Rolling Stones, the Cure and Donna Summer –

with his memories of this heady era of music history
