Mick Jagger’s long-term girlfriend L’Wren Scott has been found dead at 47 after apparently committing suicide.
She had been romantically linked to the Rolling Stones frontman since they first met in 2001. Jagger’s spokesman today said the singer was “completely shocked and devastated” following the death of his girlfriend. The singer is currently on tour with the band in Australia. Earlier today, he tweeted: “Looking forward to the first show in Perth.”
As originally reported by the New York Daily News, Scott had text messaged her assistant at 8:30 AM asking her to visit her flat. It is when she arrived that she discovered Scott dead and called 911. Police do not believe foul play was involved in her death. There was no suicide note.
Investigations will now take place by the Medical Examiner’s Office into the cause of death. Scott was a famous stylist and fashion designer. High profile celebrities including Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie, and Penelope Cruz have all wore her clothes. She also designed the costumes for films including Ocean’s Thirteen, Eyes Wide Shut and Martin Scorsese’s documentary about The Rolling Stones.
