Mick Toy lor's Stones Surprise
Mick Taylor's departure from the Rolling Stones caught a lot of people by surprise, not the least of, whom was Mick Jagger. "I suppose it was a bit inconsiderate of him to inform us a day before we were about to enter the studios," Jagger told a British reporter, adding that at a Stones business meeting just three weeks earlier, Taylor had given no hints that he might be leaving.
"He obviously had a lot of "troubles" — personal problems — I don't honestly know the nature of them, but there you go ... I was in Managua, Nicaragua, at the time checking out on how the benefit was doing when I recieved a call from the office that Mick Taylor wasn't coming to the Munich sessions. Then I received a call saying Mick Taylor wasn't going anywhere anymore with the Stones," Jagger informed NME's Nick Kent.
