The Rolling Stones' Mick and Mick to reunite at Glastonbury: Sir Jagger to play with Taylor on Pyramid stage
The Rolling Stones' return to Hyde Park will see them team up with
former guitarist Mick Taylor, but there will be no reappearance of the
white dress Mick Jagger wore at the original 1969 gig because he has
lost it.
The band will be back in the park almost 44 years to the
day since they played to thousands of fans just days after the death of
founding member Brian Jones.
Jagger told Q Magazine
he was looking forward to being joined on stage by Taylor, who made his
debut at the first Hyde Park gig before he left in the 1970s to be
replaced by Ronnie Wood.
He said: "I thought about
this yesterday, how strange it will be to turn around on stage at Hyde
Park and see Mick Taylor there again. But it's nice. He's playing very
well."
The band's 1969 set was kicked off by Jagger,
in his famous dress, reciting a Shelley poem in honour of Jones before
thousands of butterflies were released on stage.
He said: "I lost that dress. It vanished years ago.
"I
bought two for Hyde Park - a white one and an orange one. The orange
one's in the Cleveland Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I think."
