When anyone close to you dies, it is a sad and painful time of grief and it doesn't matter how old or young the deceased was or how rich or poor the bereaved are or how expected or unexpected the death was, Death is a leveller of all things. Sincere condolences to Mick and his family. I truly hope he'll be left in peace to grieve in whatever way he finds is best for him.

God Bless You Joe...thanks for giving us Mick.

God Bless You Mick...thanks for giving us great joy. My prayers are with you and Chris.

Show goes on for Jagger after his father's death
Caroline McClatchey



THE father of the Rolling Stones’ singer Mick Jagger died in hospital last night, a week after being admitted following a fall at his home.
Jagger had flown from Las Vegas to spend eight hours at his 93-year-old father’s bedside before returning to perform at the MGM Grand yesterday on his band’s A Bigger Bang world tour.



Joe Jagger, a former physical education teacher, died from pneumonia at Kingston hospital, Surrey, at 10pm.

Jagger and his father were last pictured together when the Rolling Stone picked up his knighthood at Buckingham Palace in 2003. Father and son had always enjoyed a close relationship, though Joe often complained the band’s concerts were “too noisy”.

Joe was the inspiration for his 63-year-old son’s obsession with physical fitness, a key factor in his performing abilities. Jagger clocked up 16,000 miles shuttling across the Atlantic to be with his ailing father during his final days.

Accompanied by his girlfriend L’Wren Scott, Jagger flew into London on Friday. Joe had broken two ribs and punctured a lung in the fall but his injuries were initially not thought to be life threatening.

He had been living in a “granny flat” next door to the home Jagger shared with his ex-wife Jerry Hall in Richmond, Surrey. Jagger bought the £500,000 flat for his parents in 1995 so they could be close to their grandchildren.

Joe’s wife Eva died in 2000. A spokesman for the Stones’ frontman 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 arrangements would be made for a private funeral.

Indeed a wonderful picture

Please try and let the above reprinted article be a closing statement on this thead.

I find it very sad that "fans", and remember that is all we are, should presume to comment on how a bereaved son should behave, what songs he might include in a concert etc etc.

Express your sympathy yes, but for once just leave the rest out.

Sad news. Hope Mick is doing alright, considering the circumstances.

Very sad news. My heart and thoughts go out to you, Mick.

RIP Joe. Your enlightened smile when Mick was acknowledged Pair tells how proud of him you were. Good Mick could see him before he passed for another world.

My condolences and sympathies.
Rest in peace Joe Jagger, and may the good Lord shine a light on you.

Sad News...
RIP Mr Jagger
Condolences to Mick and all the Jagger family.

Who the f*ck is Mick Jagger?

love & light to Joe Jagger
and to Mick and all the clan

RIP Joe Jagger.

I saw him on the telly in 1982. He was interviewed for the great German Stones documentary "The First Twenty Years". BTW: That was from the same guys that produced the "Let It Bleed" documentary, DoRo. Among other things he said that he really likes the Stones music and he and his wife often listen to it, but in a quiet way. A real gentleman, very charming. He died at a blessed age but nevertheless it's a very sad time for the Jagger family. I have no idea how Mick will go through the show, I couldn't.

So sad news indeed....these are very tough days....first Rons brother..now Micks father...

Nothing to add, actually.
Django's post expresses most of what I think.

Hope as many as possible of remainder venue ticket holders
will be able too watch the Stones.

Rest in peace, Basil "Joe".
My thoughts to the family.
