Mick Jagger's father dies aged 93


Sir Mick Jagger's father died tonight at the age of 93, a spokesman for the singer said.

Joe Jagger died from pneumonia in hospital at 10pm, the spokesman said.

He was admitted to the hospital in Kingston, Surrey, just over a week ago after injuring himself in a fall at his home.

The Rolling Stone, who is currently in the US for the band's A Bigger Bang world tour, flew to Britain yesterday to spend time with his father in hospital.

He later flew back to Las Vegas where he is due to perform tonight.

His spokesman confirmed that the concert would go ahead as planned.

The spokesman said: "Mr Jagger was admitted to Kingston Hospital, Surrey, just over a week ago and died of pneumonia.

"The family would like to thank the hospital for their care and support."

He said the family would not be making any further comment at this stage and arrangements would be made for a private funeral.

very sad sad day for the Jagger family! Good thoughts and prayers go out to them.
Mick must be one strong soul to perform only hours after hearing his father died! I would be a mess. God Bless Him.

RIP Joe Jagger.

Mick's a real trooper...this ones for his dad...

Reminds me of when Mick's dad died when Fleetwood mac was on tour in 1978 and how Mick flew home to be with him and then went right back out on the road.

Poor Mick :(

On a side note - that is probably the worst Press Release I have ever seen. Whoever wrote that should lose their job...
