Which original member of the Rolling Stones, a pianist, was forced out of the band in 1963 at the insistence of Andrew Loog Oldham, who was the Stones manager at the time?

Ian AR Stewart (18 July 1938, Pittenweem, Fife, Scotland – 12 December 1985) was a Scottish rock musician. Stewart played piano in the original line-up of The Rolling Stones. He predates both Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts as members of the band. Because the band's manager Andrew Loog Oldham did not think Stewart's looks were good enough for publicity purposes, Stewart officially "left the group" but continued until his death as their road manager and pianist. Whereas other of the band's members, chiefly Mick Jagger and Brian Jones, were known for their flashy apparel, for over thirty years the pianist kept the same style of jeans and a highly unfashionable haircut, adding a depth of reality to the decadent rock and roll madness that the band purveyed. Because of his ambiguous role within the group, he is often referred to as the Sixth Stone, as he was inducted posthumously in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 with the band.
