Mick Jagger’s underwear, unwashed since 1976, to go on display at British country house

Anita Singh, The Daily Telegraph, National Post Wire Services | July 3, 2014


Most of Britain’s historic country houses have treasured heirlooms to be passed down through the generations. Only Knebworth House can boast a pair of Sir Mick Jagger’s old underpants.

The Hon Henry Lytton-Cobbold, owner of the stately home that plays host to summer rock concerts, has disclosed some of the unusual mementoes collected over the years. They include the aforementioned underpants, which Sir Mick left behind after the Rolling Stones played the Hertfordshire venue in 1976. “They were left at the bottom of the bed and when we changed the sheets, there they were,” he explained. “They have never been washed and they have been in the safe ever since.”

He jokingly referred to the red briefs as “the most valuable thing we own,” adding: “They are a very Seventies pair of pants. And they are very small, but they do say Mick Jagger has a very small waist.”

Another item of Knebworth music memorabilia met a sad end. “We used to have Ella Fitzgerald’s teacup with her lipstick print on it,” Lytton-Cobbold recalled. “It was hanging on the wall for years. Then one day an over-zealous helper washed it up.”

Oasis played Knebworth in 1996 and Lytton-Cobbold, who will one day inherit a lordship from his father, Lord Cobbold, described how Noel Gallaghter came into the house for a bath.

“Noel has told a story of how a butler came in to offer him a bottle of champagne. Actually, that was my father who thought it would be nice to offer him a drink.”

The underpants and other memorabilia will be on display at the house this summer as part of a rock memorabilia exhibition covering 40 years of gigs including appearances by Robbie Williams, Led Zeppelin and Queen.

Behind the fun of hosting concerts lies a serious issue: maintaining what Lytton-Cobbold describes as “this beautiful money pit of a house” which needs £9-million “just to stop it falling down.”

“What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there,” he says. “All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another.” - Keef
