‘He boasted about being a tax exile!’ Jeremy Clarkson fumes over Mick Jagger’s knighthood

“My mate Andy would try to argue that they were the heart and soul of rock music, to which I would retort that they weren’t even the gall bladder.

“And even to this day I can sometimes be found asking why the b***** hell Mick Jagger got a knighthood when he actively boasted about being a tax exile,” he added.

However, the car expert said that his views have “mellowed” throughout the years and went on to concede that “the Stones did produce the odd listenable moment”.

In 1971 the rock band moved to the south of France and they recorded the hit Exile on Main St. in Keith Richards’ rented house, Villa Nellcote in Villefranche-sur-mer.
