Stones cancel Perth gig due to suicide of frontman’s girlfriend

The Rolling Stones on Tuesday, March 18, cancelled the first gig of their Australian tour after the death of frontman Mick Jagger’s girlfriend L’Wren Scott. The veteran band were due to play in Perth on Wednesday but the concert was called off after Scott, an American fashion designer to the stars, was discovered dead at her New York apartment. The concert may be rescheduled according to its promoter. Unconfirmed reports said Jagger, 70, had flown back to New York. He and Scott, 49, had been dating since 2001 following his split from his second wife, Texan model Jerry Hall. The legendary British rock group – which in 2012 marked its 50th anniversary together – were set to play Australia for the first time since 2006.
