Lol. If Jagger was ever truly finished with Keith he'd never say so publicly. He has more class, couth, and professionalism than that. As well, he would know openly admitting this would hurt his image at bit because most would blame the end of The Stones on him, rather than what prompted him to act as such.

If he did say this (*which I'm highly skeptical of) he was just joshing. Quite possibly being a bit sarcastic since many feel there is still a major rift going on.

Nine out of ten media outlets can write anything (and many times they do). Who is going to check into this to see if Mick said this? Who is going to check to see if he even spoke to this outlet at all?

As well, if for some reason he DID say this it was most likely several days or some weeks before their most recent and telling band meeting.

It all boils down to: Don't believe everything you read.

Harold Pendleton owned the Marquee. Surely the old goat is dead? Wasnt there some hassle with a banner he wanted to have in the background of the Stones "farewell" gig?

And wasnt Harold the same dude in the early days (along with the trad jazz fella's) who openly loathed the Stones and didnt want them playing in their venues?

Now, lets have fun and take Jagger's remarks for real. Charlie cant get a plaque. Mick doesnt want Keith there. Ronnie wasnt in the band. Bill has left. Taylor has left. Does that mean only Jagger gets a plaque?

Pendleton is still alive, but ceased being involved with the Marquee back in 1988.

The last Marquee closed in 2008, but a new club 'Marquee Live', with Pendleton's blessing, opened in January 2011 at the Monarch in Camden's Chalk Farm Road.

Coincidentally, it's just a short distance from the London Roundhouse, which re-opened about 5 years ago and which was where the Stones played the final dates of their 'Farewell Britain' 1971 tour just 12 days before they taped their TV special at the Marquee (they havent performed at either venue since then). The Roundhouse has more recently been known for hosting the 'Electric Proms' series of concerts and it's where Amy Winehouse made her last public appearance in July just two days before she died.

Pendleton always hated the Stones and thought they were crap. He fired them from the Marquee and whilst the 'banner' incident at their 1971 return appearance at the venue caused a lot of dispute, the incident which reportedly 'triggered' Keith's violent reaction was him overhearing Pendleton at the rehearsal dismissing them as being 'the same old rubbish'.
