Evidently Keith wasn't the only one who thought a knighthood for Mick
was a bad idea!


from the Telegraph:

The Queen avoided personally giving Sir Mick Jagger his knighthood because she thought he was an inappropriate candidate for honour, it has been claimed.

The 86 year-old monarch is said to have not had "the stomach" to present the Rolling Stone's frontman in 2003 on account of his anti-establishment views.

She is also said to have disliked the star's s relationship with her sister, the late Princess Margaret, and as a result asked the Prince of Wales to give him his knighthood instead.

The Queen was said to have deliberately scheduled an operation to remove cartilage from her left knee for the day before Jagger received one of the country's highest honours.

The claims were made in a new controversial, and unauthorised, biography 'Mick: the Wild Life and Mad Genius of Jagger', which was released in America in Tuesday.

Jagger once called the Queen "Chief Witch" and proclaimed "anarchy is the only slight glimmer of hope".

David Bowie and Mick Jagger's long-rumoured love affair revealed in new book
10 Jul 2012
Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister, was said to have repeatedly tried to add Jagger’s name to the Honours List but was rebuked by the Queen because he was "not suitable", the Daily Mail reported.

When his name was finally added, the book's author Christopher Andersen Andersen quotes an anonymous Royal aide saying: "The Queen looked at Mick Jagger’s name on that list, and there was absolutely no way in the world that she was going to take part in that. So she simply arranged to be elsewhere."

On December 13 2003 he eventually accepted his honour, but the Queen was not there to give it to him.

She said to have told one of her doctors at King Edward VII Hospital in London: "I would much rather be here than at Buckingham Palace knighting a certain party."

His book also details the lurid and numerous affairs Jagger, 68, is said to have had with both sexes.

The author has alleged that Jagger, who had seven children by four women, had a long-term love affair with fellow musician David Bowie in the 1970s.

In his new book, the writer claims that Angie Bowie, who was married to David at the time, returned to their London home to find the two men asleep together in her bed.

Both men apparently woke up with a start.

"Do you want some coffee?" she asked, and returned a few minutes later with coffee and orange juice on a tray.

The escapade is outlined with quotes from friends and family, and according to Andersen: "Ava Cherry, a backup singer who lived with the Bowies for a time, reportedly told a friend that 'Mick and David were really sexually obsessed with each other. Even though I was in bed with them many times, I ended up just watching them have sex'."

After meeting in the early Seventies, Andersen says that both stars became fascinated with one another.

Not long after their first encounter in 1973, when Mick visited Bowie backstage at one of his concerts, Andersen claims that their relationship quickly turned physical.

Jagger is also said to have had an affair with Carla Bruni, the wife of former French president Nicolas Sarkozy, and courted Angelina Jolie with "desperate phone calls" for two years.

Neither Jagger nor Buckingham Palace have commented on the book.

Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't mean to make it look like I thought it was a credible article...since it was lumped in with the old Jagger/Bowie story, I was pretty sure it was complete crap.  Still, I DID find a funny picture to go with it, so what the hell.

That asshole is cashing in on the 50th anniversary, I saw him on T.V. he looks like a ass too, next thing he'll be writing a book about Mick having sex with animals!

Well he's in the right place to talk shit. Faux news.

Always hated that old bitch & her in-bred clan. Apart from burning some of my relatives in a barn (ok, it was 600 or so years ago, but i dont forget), i know find out about this!!

Too much of a perfectionist, Ellen. I'd never get it finished!

Besides, the sort of book I'd be interested in doing would be all nerdy stuff - info which is really hard to research without official help and access to studio logs etc. And no publisher would really be interested in it anyway.

Martin Elliott told me in Berlin a few years ago that his recording sessions books took him about 20 years!

I dont claim to know the band first-hand and wouldnt be remotely interested in the 'juicy' private stuff - which has been largely done to death anyway.

Mind you, Christopher Anderson doesnt know the band either. He doesn't seem to have any embarrassment or shameless filters, however.

An explosive new biography of Mick Jagger, claiming he slept with dozens of famous men as well as women, has got the lawyers foaming. A Rolling Stones spokesman tells me they're planning to sue author Christopher Andersen and Simon and Schuster, who published the book in America. The book is due to be published in Britain later this month by Robson Press, a small imprint of Iain Dale's Biteback Publishing, founded only last year. "I'm not going to say who Mick has and hasn't slept with," says the spokesman, "but it's filled with plain inaccuracies. It's got Mick and Keith going to Dartford Grammar, when Keith went to Dartford Tech then Sidcup Art College." An extract released early last week told how, in 1973, Angie Bowie walked in on Jagger and David Bowie in bed together, and was so stunned the only thing she could say was: "Do you want some coffee?" But in a fuller extract yesterday, she is quoted saying: "Do you want some tea?" It's all in the details, eh?

Cant believe Bowie was ever married to THAT!
