Jagger plays gig with brother

London - Little known musician Chris Jagger had been saying for years that his famous brother Mick would one day join him on stage. When it finally happened, the audience numbered about 40.
Grainy footage of the gig late last month at the Bull's Head, a riverside pub in southwest London, was available on YouTube, posted by someone who captured the event on a cell phone.
The Rolling Stones kicked off a European tour in Belgium this week and will be headlining at the Isle of Wight music festival on Sunday.
Mick Jagger, 63, had been visiting his former wife Jerry and their children in nearby Richmond when he slipped into the pub wearing a purple jumper and joined Chris's Atcha! blues band.
'You need the practice'
In the impromptu performance, Chris, 59, plays guitar, and the brothers use a single microphone to sing Dead Flowers, a track from the Stones' Sticky Fingers album.
Chris told the Daily Mail newspaper that he persuaded his brother during a break in the Atcha! show to take to the stage.
"At first he didn't really want to do it, but I said to him: 'You've got a tour coming up. I think you need the practice'," Chris said.
