Mick Jagger’s Assassination Plot

A storm saved the life of the Rolling Stone‘s front man…and he may not even know it. A British documentary centering around the FBI revealed that a group of Hells Angels tried to murder Mick Jagger. After he refused to use the gang as bouncers for a concert in 1969, they decided that Mick would pay with his life for the snub.

The Hells Angels had been present at a previous concert for the Stones. Sadly, the gang’s overzealous methods of controlling the crowd resulted in the death of an 18 year old fan. After Mick blacklisted the group they attempted to kill him.

Tom Mangold said the plan was disclosed during an interview with Mark Young, a former FBI officer, for the BBC’s “The FBI at 100″ documentary. Mangold said the men tried to reach Jagger by sea. “The boat was hit by a storm and all of the men were thrown overboard,” he was quoted as saying. They all survived but made no other attempt on his life.

WTF? They tried to storm his house by sea? Isn’t that a bit out of their element? Just in case there are any members still around….have I mentioned lately how en vogue shiny metal helmets and leather chaps are?
