Mick Jagger Invites 103 Sydney Relatives To Rolling Stones Show

Mick Jagger had a few ‘rellies’ drop by for the Rolling Stones show in Sydney on Wednesday.

Jagger has quite a number of relatives in Sydney. Sir Mick is half British / half Australian. His mother Eva Scutts was born in the inner Sydney suburb of Marrickville in 1913.

When World War I broke out Mick’s grandmother decided to return to England in 1917 with the children when Eva was three. Her father remained behind and although had “a lady friend” they never divorced and he never remarried. Eva’s brother Percy returned to Australia as a married adult and settled back in Sydney. His children, Mick’s cousins, are Jagger’s current link with Australia.

“Sydney’s been very welcoming to us all, it feels amazing. I had 103 of my Sydney rellies for tea the other day, and they’re all here tonight and very welcome,” Mick said at Wednesday’s show.

Last night was also the 20th time the Stones have played Sydney. “Thank you very much, this is our twentieth show in Sydney, we’ve been playing here for almost 50 years,” Mick said.
