Taylor not suing the Stones
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 17 September 2009
Everyone’s not doing something to The Rolling Stones of late. Earlier this month Charlie Watts wasn’t quitting the band, now former guitarist Mick Taylor isn’t suing them over unpaid royalties, despite an article in the Daily Mail to the contrary.
Taylor’s manager Jeff Allen told the NME: “[Mick] certainly didn’t say that he was going to sue the Stones. Mick’s got a very good relationship with the Stones. In fact, the last time we met up with them, him and Keith [Richards] were like long-lost lovers – hugging each other and happy to see each other. When Mick was ill either six or eight weeks ago with some kind of chest complaint, Mick Jagger had his office phone up to see what was going on, and then he phoned up the hospital just to check on Mick because they were worried about him. So there’s absolutely no animosity between Mick and the Stones”.
He added: “You can imagine the shock, horror and disbelief when that article came out in the Daily Mail. The emphasis of the article was that Mick was some kind of rundown, down-and-out tramp living in Suffolk. The reality is Mick’s having the house done up”.
