Subject: Mick Jagger uses autocue for lyrics
Written By: Philip Eno on 07/19/07 at 12:20 pm
Mick Jagger has started using an autocue on stage - in case he forgets the lyrics to his songs.
The Rolling Stones singer has a screen hidden in his speakers.
He uses the screen to remind him which city he is in.
According to the Sun a source said: "Mick's not getting any younger and he doesn't want to slip up.
"He's generally running all over the stage but if he gets a memory blank he can get back to the screen quickly.
"He rarely needs it but it's a back-up. It would be pretty embarrassing to forget the words to a song like Satisfaction when you've been singing it for 40 years."
