Before the premiere, the actor talked with Mick Jagger about the shoot — his first appearance in a music video. “It’s nuts,” he told the singer. “It’s so exciting for me.” The song features Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page on guitar (alongside Keith Richards) and Blind Faith/Family’...

Rolling Stones Threaten Lawsuit If Donald Trump Continues Using Their Music at Events
