survived an assassination attempt by Hells Angels
members nearly 40 years ago because a boat carrying
his would-be killers was swamped in a storm,
according to a new BBC documentary.
World Entertainment News is breaking this story March 3rd.
The details of a plot to kill the Jagger were revealed
by an FBI agent as part of a series, "The FBI at 100,"
which is to be aired on BBC Radio 4 on March 3rd.
Tom Mangold, who presents the series,
told the Sunday Telegraph that Jagger fell out with the
Hells Angels after a member of the gang killed a fan
during the band's infamous free concert at Altamont
in 1969. The Stones had hired the local chapter to provide
security for the poorly planned concert near San Francisco.
The bikers terrorized the crowd, and were offended by Jagger's
effeminate dancing. One of them stabbed 18-year-old Meredith Hunter
to death in front of the stage.
The Hells Angels felt they had been duped by Jagger after
the blame game started and a boatload of Hells Angels set out
to take revenge on Jagger at his holiday home in the Hamptons,
near New York City.
"They planned the attack from the sea so they could enter his
property from the garden and avoid security at the front.
The boat was hit by a storm and all of the men were thrown
overboard. All survived and there was not said to have been
any further attempt on Jagger's life."
For Mick Jagger it sounds like the perfect storm.
Will someone please make this true story
into a movie as soon as possible!
