Re: Jagger ill
I suspect if he's had a scan and "something" has shown up then it's probably cancer of some sort. God knows what he's smoked for decades, but if he does die then it's definitely the end of an era. The Stones seem to have been with us forever and I for one love their early stuff.

I'd love to have seen them last year (like the lucky Ruthio did
), but I went to see Roger Waters instead. One big band per year at those prices I'm afraid.
Something else remembered from the concert was a large inflatable in the shape of a man (?) that could have done with a bit more air in it. Also, the stadium was fairly empty when we arrived, so we stood near the front central to the stage. As more people gathered around us, the smell of weed stated to waft around. I said to my mate that we'd better move to the side where there was more room before we floated over there with the effects of the smoke.
We stood in the stands a few tiers up and close to the stage. It turned out to be a really good place to be because Mick was very close every time he came to that end of the stage. Funny to see someone so close up whose music I'd danced to, romanced to and who had just always been around since I was a teenager.
I'd have been 46 when I went to see The Stones. Mick Jagger would have been 47.
Edit: changed the ages.

I remember the inflatables and they were a little weird. I couldn't make out what they were either!
Nope I didn't smell any weed on that occasion, being all dressed up in my RAF blues, but I do recall plenty of it being smoked by the wheelchair concert goers a few weeks later when I was looking after them when I saw Fleetwood Mac!
