Mick Jagger says he is “struggling to understand” the death of his partner L’Wren Scott.

Scott, a high-profile New York fashion designer to the stars, took her life on Monday.

In a statement via Facebook Mick Jagger said, “I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way”.

Scott had been Jagger’s partner since 2001. “We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves,” he said.
She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me”.

Jagger also thanked fans for their support at this time. “I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received”.

“I will never forget her,”

I wasn’t quite prepared for the “strap in and enjoy the ride’ experience of Kraftwerk. I hadn’t seen them live since the Big Day Out of 2003. It was still light when they came in, in the tent (not the outdoor stage) and they were wearing suits. Someone at the time commented that it was like watching four businessmen in the Qantas Club sending emails to each other.

At one point Jackson Browne commented how he “doesn’t think of himself as 75 and doesn’t think of his beard as grey” but that is what a lifetime of success will do to you. For many people in the room (including myself) who started the Jackson Browne journey with his first album in 1972, this show delivered a deep dive across the entire career.

The Beatles played six concerts in Melbourne on that one and only Australian tour of 1964, two shows each on the 15, 16 and 17th of June. The next time Paul was in Melbourne was for two Wings concerts on 13 and 14 November, 1975. There were two MCG concerts on 9 and 10 March, 1993, and two AAMI Park shows on 6 and 7 December, 2017. 21 October, 2023 at Marvel Stadium was special. It was the 13th and most likely the last time Sir Paul McCartney will ever perform in Melbourne, Australia.
