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.
