Sir Mick Jagger was “totally devoted” to girlfriend L’Wren Scott.
Friends of the Rolling Stones singer, whose partner was tragically found hanged in an apparent suicide at her New York apartment on Monday (17.03.14), have rubbished claims he had ever been unfaithful to the fashion designer and revealed he is “heartbroken” by her death.
A pal told The Sun newspaper: “He had no desire to mess around with other women.
“They spent so much time together Mick was totally devoted to L’Wren. The pair were very much in love. He is heartbroken. He’s in bits at the moment.”
The 70-year-old singer, who had been dating L’Wren, 49, since 2001, were as close as possible in the months leading to her death, according to the friend.
Mick, who had landed in Australia for the start of the Rolling Stones’ world tour was preparing for a gig in Perth when he was told the devastating news.
He is currently holed up at the Hyatt Hotel after the Stones cancelled their entire tour of Australia and New Zealand and is said to be “utterly devastated and bereft”.
Mick is being comforted by his daughters Lizzy, 30, and Georgia May, 22, from his marriage to Jerry Hall.
A friend has also claimed the ‘Brown Sugar’ star has not slept since hearing the news and the tour doctor is currently on call.
The pal told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “He is totally devastated and just wants to be surrounded by his family. We have never seen him so despondent and are extremely worried about him.
“He didn’t sleep after being told the news. How could you? Like anyone, he is wrestling with how it happened and if he could have prevented it.
“Of course, there is nothing he could have done but that doesn’t stop him feeling utterly tormented by the turn of events. Every waking moment he’s been thinking of their last hours and days together and if he could have spotted any warning signs. It’s all terribly sad.”
