He looks really vulnerable. Yeah, yeah, he had his issues and he wasn't easy to be around, but he was only 27, practically still growing. It's like some people are born with spirits already old.
Well, what can you say. I wonder what he'd be like today, had he lived. And what he'd think of the Stones.

Thinking of how old most of us are {well, ME anyway}, 27 is almost just like a boy still. My oldest daughter will be 26 this year.....yes, he was young. And no matter what problems he had, he didn't deserve to die at 27. If Robert Johnson started the "27 club", Brian was it's second inductee.
Happy Birthday, Brian. I will always love and miss you. Thank you for being such a visionary and starting such a remarkable band! And for educating so many {including me} and introducing blues music and world music to a Western world. You made your mark, and it was a big one.

I think it was taken by Stu?
Whatever he was, he started a little band known as the Rolling Stones and helped put them on the map. Just maybe hat's worth something in the scheme of things...
Happy Birthday, Mr. Jones

I am wondering (not so much as I know why just a bit shocked at the callousness) why would a picture of Mick looking guilty, sad, whatever be put up on Brian's birthday and then list how old Brian would have been if he had not died.

Naw, didn't take the picture. But yeah, I'm definitely that old... Although I was just last week mistaken for my 25 year old daughter's sister.....

I believe that header picture of Brian was taken by Stu Stewart for his book
"Outtakes". I can't see anyone actually believing that is a picture of Mick
Jagger!? Happy Birthday Brian!

I do not care how young you look that does not help at all when seeing time through your own eyes.....
If you did not take it and it is an "unknown" photo ... with the facial features as such, even a facial recognizing program can not mark that as Brian.
Description of picture. Male, skinny dark hair, protruding lips.
Mick's nose - Brian's nose

Errr, I think that's definitely Brian.
I mean, it's obvious to me! I don't even see why one would wonder about it, really...
Check out the hands and the body. Not Mick.

I understand you guy/s are selling these "recycled" photos. And have them labeled already. The fact is one head is has a different hat size than the other. And Brian is confirmed in one photo. The other one (for all general purposes) is unknown unless you have a confirmed with notes(memories fade) confirmation from the photog. And he would not. The hat size of the two humans in question is different.
If Robert Johnson started the "27 club", Brian was it's second inductee. 
Errr, I think that's definitely Brian.
