It's hard to say what would had happened if Mick didn't change his ways but lets be glad that he did. Altamont had something to do with it but not all of it. Brian Jones's death a few months earlier did hurt Mick, regardless of what some have reported. Bill Wyman was quoted as saying that Mick broke down crying over Brian's death the morning of the Hyde Park Memorial Concert. I think he saw the light on just what some drugs can do to you if your not carefull, he saw it in Brian even before his death. Then a few short years later other friends & rock stars were dying, he saw what was happening to Keef and finally saw the light and cleaned up his act. So I think it was more than just one event.
