Mick Jagger Speaks Out On Suicide Death of Girlfriend L’Wren Scott
Only a day after his girlfriend L’Wren Scott was found hanging from a scarf in her Manhattan apartment, Mick Jagger has spoken out about her shocking death.
“I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way,” writes Jagger on his Facebook page. “We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves.”
The pair began dating in 2001 and despite various media reports, did NOT split up before her death.
“She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me,” the Rolling Stones frontman continued in his post, which was accompanied by this photograph:
Scott was a celebrated fashion designer, whose styles were worn by many A-list celebrities, a number of whom have expressed their condolences over social media.
“I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received,” wrote Jagger, who was in Australia touring with the Stones when news broke of Scott’s death. The band has since canceled all upcoming concert dates.
The 70-year-old finished the short post with: “I will never forget her.”
One of the individuals who has expressed her grief over the former model’s passing is Vogue Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour.
“I am deeply saddened by the loss of L’Wren Scott,” the legendary editor wrote in a statement.
“L’Wren was a total perfectionist, someone who absolutely embodied everything her marvelous clothes stood for: strength of character combined with a confident and powerful style.”
The statement continues, “In person, L’Wren was always unbelievably generous, gracious, kind, and so much fun. Her old world American manners and charm were from another time, but her sensibility was always fiercely modern. We will all miss her.”
