Mick Jagger Pulls Out Of David Cameron Event

The Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger has pulled out of an event hosted by David Cameron.

The frontman was due to join the Prime Minister at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland to help generate business for the UK.

However, Jagger has now said that he will not appear at the event as he feels he's being used as a 'political football'.

He said in a statement: "During my career I have always eschewed party politics and came to Davos as a guest, as I thought it would be stimulating. I have always been interested in economics and world events. I now find myself being used as a political football and there has been a lot of comment about my political allegiances, which are inaccurate. I think it's best I decline the invitation to the key event and curtail my visit."

A senior government source told The Guardian: "Clearly we are disappointed that Sir Mick doesn't feel he can support a non-political event that promotes Britain."

They continued: "At no point was there ever any suggestion that Sir Mick was a Conservative. He understandably wishes to remain apolitical. This is not a political event. This is simply an event that promotes British creativity abroad."
