moy Mick Jagger Dances On Dead Fan's Ashes
Singer Was Unaware Of Request By Widow

One Rolling Stones fan got his final wish Sunday -- to be on stage with the band.

Mick JaggerThe only problem was, the fan was no longer of this earth and the Stones didn't know about it.

The Boston Herald reports a woman came to the Stones show Sunday in Boston at the FleetCenter with a plastic bag containing her husband's ashes.

She asked the security guard at the runway stage if she could dump the ashes on the stage. But the staff said it was probably not a good idea.

FleetCenter spokesman Jim Delaney says 10 minutes later, the woman was tossing the ashes onto the runway.

Before staff could figure out what to do, the band was on stage and Mick Jagger was dancing on the ashes.

Delaney says the Stones were not aware of the ashes until after the show.

corgi37 My wife sms'd me yesterday about this while she was at work. Message read "jagger dances on mans ashes during show". I'm like "what the fuck?" I think its pretty bloody cool, but i guess if could backfire. I think i know why no one wanted to encourage this. Just imagine, instead of panties, bras, joints etc being thrown on stage, every one brings an urn of a loved one. Shit, why the urn? Bring ya dead cats, birds, dogs, grandma and fling them on stage too. Freaky shit, but another great addition to the Stones history.
