Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has spoken out in the wake of girlfriend L’Wren Scott’s death.
The 49-year-old fashion designer was found dead in her Manhattan apartment earlier this week.
Writing on The Stones’ Facebook wall, Jagger said:
L’Wren Scott and Mick JaggerI am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way.
We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves.
She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me.
I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received.
I will never forget her,
Mick
The designer – favoured by stars like Christina Hendricks and Oprah Winfrey as well as the likes of Michelle Obama, Sarah Jessica Parker, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss – was found by her assistant.
Mick Jagger was in Australia when the news broke. The Rolling Stones have since postponed their Australasia tour.
