...costing them $20 million to perform four dates at home. The Stones will tour Britain eventually, just as soon as that new financial year rocks around, in June 1999, when they will be taxed on those dates alone. "I was tempted to bite the bullet," said Mick Jagger to an outraged British press, "but I'm not the only one affected...
...come together once again, this time on a giant canvas of JERRY HALL. Painter Lucian Freud, who has turned down offers to paint Queen Elizabeth and Pope John Paul II (and has had one of his pieces sold at auction for $5.8 million), painted the statuesque wife of MICK JAGGER.

His movements were distinctive and ostentatious; he flailed his arms out at the audience, fingers extended and wrists bent back, kicked up his legs, bent at the knees. His whole dance seemed to be inspired by some kind of stilted stylish treading of water, and he did it freely and extemporaneously all around the stage. There were catwalks set up from the stage out towards the sides of the field, which Mick danced...
