"Keith Richards on lead vocals!"
How many times do I have to say it? The rumor that it's written in the contract has only ONCE been "reported" in 30 years. Nick Kent wrote the piece that ran in Spin Magazine in the States in 1985. In that same article he wrote that in 1981 Keith "hijacked the cherry picker, rose up and played a 17-minute guitar solo" (never happened) and that in 1982 Keith "ran across the stage and slugged Ronnie in the mouth" (never happened). Do I have to keep repeating myself?
he'd probably hijack a cherry picker given the chance, but i can't
imagine him playing solo for 17 minutes. on which song even?
Hang (from the Cherry Picker) Fire.
would it have been Mick stuck up on that thing for 17min
and Keef refusing to stop the song. that, i can imagine
It was Ronnie, and it was YCAGWYW. But the solo was nowhere near two minutes...
Mick singing "Cherry (picker) Oh Baby".
some swiss doctors decapitating a 19year-old and sowing his head upon it.
rumour has it that most part of Jagger is actually kept in a refrigerator.
edit: this post should make me look neither like a Scarf fan nor a Keef hater.
i am a dedicated fan of the man and i fondly remember the line up when the scarf wasn't yet around.

Boy, if this video is any indication, Mick kept hanging around the front of the stage because seemingly Keith had little or no interest in doing the vocal. Somebody had to do the lyric.

it's very sad how this came about on the 81 tour...per contract from rumors we have heard.

actually it's not so sad, rather just logical. maybe after watching the "Happy" rendition from Fort Worth'78 Mick himself came to the conclusion that he was hogging the mic way too much to call itQuote

Another reason was I assumed he just never felt comfortable in the backup singer role. He can obviously do it, but he's still up there being "Mick Jagger". I feel he thinks if he's up there, he's got to keep the crowd entertained and just figured if its not his song then its just a waste of his energy.

Maybe, but the timing seemed to coincide with their rift...The pic here of them singing LSTNT is fantastic and wish it had occurred more often these past 30 yrs..

I have this imagine of Mick going backstage, turning on his tablet computer, and doing some online banking, bill payments, maybe funds transfers to his kids accounts (except Georgia, who has her own money).
He then checks the sticky on IORR to see what the 'play by play' is on the concert, and if any footage of them has been uploaded.
He then goes to the bathroom (as is tradition during keith's set) an outfit change and then hurries back up.
It's a lot to get done in two songs.

He finds a good set of ear plugs, inserts them before Keith
starts "Wanna Hold You" and relaxes for 4 minutes.

These days Mick needs this break while Keith sings and is happy to take it. To rest his vocal cords and body. Maybe he breathes in from an O2 tank the way football players do. Maybe a few swigs of beer

The whole "written into the contract" thing is probably bunk
Mick probably changes his clothes, takes a leak, gargles something for his voice...sits down for a few minutes. It's just a mid show pit stop for Mick really.

I know that during the 1981 tour Mick & Keith weren't exactly good friends, so (forgive me if I'm wrong) there was a clause in the tour contract that Mick Jagger had to leave the stage during Keith's set. When I watched the 1975 tour video of 'Happy' from L.A. Friday (video below), I could see why! Mick was just living up the role of...backing singer(?) as a drug-fueled Richards fumbled through his guitar-plucking and singing, while Jagger just ran around stage dancing before running back to the mic just in time for the chorus, and seemed to try and make Keef's song his (see 1:12).
So this had me wondering-has this tour requirement been implemented in the 1981-2014 tours? I can understand why if Mick needs a wardrobe change in between Keith's last song and Mick's next song, but it seems that since 2013, 'Rambler' has usually, if not always, followed the last Richards performance, and in 2007, 'Miss You' followed Keith's set, with one exception. Does Richards still want Mick off of the stage for his two songs and state it in the contract, or does Jagger leave the stage of his own freewill?
Boy, if this video is any indication, Mick kept hanging around the front of the stage because seemingly Keith had little or no interest in doing the vocal. Somebody had to do the lyric.
