I know he did alot of coke on the 81 tour, but a 'problem'?
When Jerry Hall released her first 'memoir', Bryan Ferry slagged it off as 'exaggerated'. Could this be a lost chapter in the life of Mick Jagger, or just melodramatic flourish?
Jerry will be releasing her photo essay/memoir next month with alot of Mick in it. I bet he can't wait. I will probably be compelled to look.
Now, I thought this "tell all" book idea was shelved a long time ago.
As for Jerry claiming Mick had a "drug problem," that is obviously her interpretation of the situation at the time.
I've always had the idea that Mick never let drugs control him, but I could be wrong.
You're right, Marianne Faithful in her book "Faithful" mentioned the same thing, that Mick would never let drugs effect his body shape, or never loose control with drugs, he knew when he had enough, this coming from the 60's period, but I don't think he's changed in that regard, he's so vain about himself he'd never let that happen, doesn't sound like a drug addict to me, sounds like he's more the drug.
