Jagger Goes Solo  With Bono and Townshend


Rolling Stone Mick Jagger is going solo again. Sort of.
The large-lipped Stones frontman is readying his fourth solo album, and 
accompanying him will be a who's who (literally) of rock stars. Windmilling 
rock guitarist Pete Townshend of The Who will join Jagger on the 
as-yet-untitled album, while U2's Bono, Lenny Kravitz, and hip-hop diva 
Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott will lend guest vocals, Bernard Doherty of LD 
Publicity tells Reuters.

The album, to be released in November, will be the Rolling Stones frontman's 
first solo effort in eight years, and despite the A-list guests, it will be 
Jagger's work alone, Doherty stressed.

Jagger, 58, has written all the material on the album, which includes some 
cover versions of previously recorded hits.

Jagger and Townshend are said to be relishing the opportunity to work 
together. The two, who each cracked the music scene in the 1960s, have been 
friends for years and both have homes in the plush southwest London suburb 
of Richmond.

"They've known each other since the '60s and they have always been mates," 
Doherty said.

Other past and present members of the Rolling Stones have released solo 
albums, including lead guitarist Keith Richards, guitarist Ron Wood, and 
drummer Charlie Watts, who plays frequently with his own jazz quartet.

Former bassist Bill Wyman's eponymous 1982 album spawned an international 
smash hit: "Je Suis un Rock Star."
