Legendary rock singer Mick Jagger on Tuesday reportedly canceled one event hosted by British Prime Minister David Cameron at Davos forum, because he felt manipulated as a “political football”.
The Rolling Stones frontman, who was among other hit song “Sympathy for the Devil”, cancel attendance at a tea ceremony that was held to promote the UK at the gathering which was attended by the world’s economic elite in the Swiss resort.
But Jagger – who is known as “Sir Mick” in Britain after receiving a knighthood from Prince Charles in 2003 – said that he died Davos because he did not want to join any political party.
“During my career, I always shy away from political parties and come to Davos just as a guest, because I think the event will be exciting. I have always been interested in the economy and world events,” said 68-year-old singer said in a statement.
“I am now being used as a political football and there are many opinions about joining me in a political party, and it’s not true.”
“I think the best is that I resist the invitation to the main event and limit my visits.”
Conservative leaders, Cameron – who previously declared that he is a fan of British bands with a sad song like The Smith and Radiohead – take careful steps to the British firm that is trying to reduce the country’s record deficit.
A source from Cameron’s office in Downing Street denied that Jagger’s involvement politicized.
“No one ever claimed that Sir Mick was a member of the Conservative,” the source said.
