Mick Jagger: No plans for 50th gigs

Published: Today at 00:00

ROLLING Stone Mick Jagger has told fans hoping they will tour for next year's 50th anniversary: "Don't hold your breath."

He was seen last week leaving a London meeting with bandmates Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood.

But Jagger, 68, quelled rumours the Stones will perform for the first time since 2007 — possibly at the London Olympics.

He said: "A band gets trapped. When a band starts as a blues band, it always remains sort of true to that."

He is currently working with all-star group SuperHeavy — featuring Dave Stewart, Joss Stone, Damian Marley and film composer AR Rahman.

Their debut album is out today. Jagger said: "If people like it, we could do a few other things."
