Sir Mick Jagger reveals that he missed out on meeting one of his heroes after “stupidly” following John Lennon’s advice.
During an interview with Conan O’Brien, The Rolling Stones frontman shared that Lennon had warned him against meeting Elvis Presley: “You know you should never meet your heroes,” Sir Mick recalled Lennon as saying.
Lennon and his bandmates had previously met the King of Rock and Roll but had been left disappointed, Sir Mick explained.
“I took John’s advice, which is really stupid of me. I would have loved to have met Elvis.
“I wanted to keep my Elvis to myself, my version of Elvis, and so I didn’t want my version of Elvis shattered like John’s was. But maybe my Elvis version would have been different.”
