COMMENT ON THIS STORY


ROCKER Sir Mick Jagger was frantic with worry last night after his frail 95-year-old dad was rushed to hospital after taking a tumble at home.

Joe Jagger is believed to have punctured a lung and broken two ribs after the fall on Friday morning. He was rushed to Kingston hospital in South West London where he is on a general surgical ward.

The Rolling Stone is being kept informed of his dad’s condition.

Mick, 63, and the rest of the band are currently in San Francisco as part of their Bigger Bang world tour.

The singer remains close to his dad and took him to Buckingham Palace to collect his knighthood in December 2003.

A pal of Mick’s said last night: “He and Joe speak often and are very close.

“Mick is being kept informed of his dad’s condition. It is a worry as Joe is so old.”

Joe lives near the home Mick used to share with ex-wife Jerry Hall, 50, in Richmond, Surrey.

It is believed his home helper took him to hospital.

She confirmed he was in hospital yesterday but did not comment further.

Joe is said to be in a “poor condition” but one that is not life threatening. Another source said: “He has bad injuries.”

The former PE teacher’s wife Eva died of a heart condition in 1993.

They had two children — rock legend Mick and his brother Chris.
