Mick Jagger Refuses To Play Political Games
The singer pulls out of visit to Switzerland after political one-upmanship
Jagger had been due to visit the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland to help generate business for the UK but when his attendance was hijacked by certain political parties looking for unwarranted kudos he decided to leave early.
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."Â
