Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger Was Regular Heroin User, Jerry Hall Claims

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger was a regular heroin user in the 1970s, according to former girlfriend Jerry Hall.

Hall makes the claim in her new autobiography My life In Pictures, which lifts the lid on her time with the singer.

In an extract serialised in The Telegraph, Hall says she was “disgusted” by Jagger's habit and able to wean him off the drug.

"Mick had told me he took LSD every day for a year in the Sixties,” she wrote. “He also admitted he was smoking heroin. I was disgusted.

"I told him I couldn't see him if he took drugs, saying, 'Go away and don't come back until you're straight'. He succeeded - he had amazing willpower."

In past interviews about his experience with drugs, Jagger has refrained from mentioning heroin. A spokesperson declined to comment on the revelations.

Jagger and Hall met in 1977 when the singer was still married to his first wife Bianca and Hall was dating Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry.

They married in 1990, but the ceremony in Bali was later declared to have been not legally binding. They have four children together.
