Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger stuns locals with ‘surreal’ surprise performance in Oxfordshire pub ‘with no crowds’
SIR Mick Jagger left an Oxfordshire pub stunned when he sang at a live
music night on Sunday evening.
The Rolling Stones frontman walked into The Half Moon pub and joined
the Irish band who were performing.
In video obtained by The Sun, Mick, who has not played live with his
band since 2024, belted out the folk song Handsome Molly – changing
the lyrics to be about Dublin instead of London.
He previously covered the track in 1993 on his solo album Wandering Spirit.
One stunned pub-goer told me: “We were sitting right by the band when
a small group wandered over towards the musicians.
“I caught a glimpse of one of them from the side and said to my mates,
‘Wait… is that Mick Jagger?’
“A few moments later, someone hopped onto the piano, and Mick just
started belting out some lyrics.
“The most surreal part was that almost nobody seemed to realise it was
him. There were no crowds and you could really tell just how much fun
Mick was having.”
The surprise performance comes ahead of the release next month of a
new Rolling Stones album called Foreign Tongues.
Earlier this month, Mick said he “can’t wait” to tour again with
bandmates Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood.
He told Radio 2: “I can’t wait. I don’t think it’s going to be this
year. But hopefully it’s going to be as soon as possible.”
