Tina Turner Confessed Her ‘Crush’ On Mick Jagger
Tina Turner allegedly “always” had a crush on Mick Jagger.
The Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll identified her celebrity crush in an interview with The Guardian on April 8—one and a half months before she passed away. Turner, who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 83, recalled to the outlet at the time, “I loved when we toured with the Rolling Stones.”
Although Jagger and Turner performed together on stage a few times, their most significant appearance was at the ‘Live Aid concert’ in 1985 at London’s Wembley Stadium. While they were singing It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll together in the stadium, Jagger ripped off Turner’s skirt.
Even in her 2018 autobiography, Tina Turner: My Love Story, the One of the Living singer recalled that evening, stating:
“Mick and I could never just stand there and sing—that wasn’t us. We had to do something. He looked me over. I was wearing a tight-fitting black leather top and skirt and I could see a naughty idea forming. ‘Does that skirt come off?’ he asked slyly. ‘What?’ was my startled reply.”
Jagger then told Turner, “I’m going to take your skirt off.
“I asked him why, but it was too late to talk it through, Mick had already made his mind up to do it,” she wrote.
After completing her 50th-anniversary tour, the Steamy Windows singer called it quits on her decades-long career in 2009.
