Rolling Stone Broke

(Classic Rock) Former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor is virtually destitute. Now living in a small, rundown house in Suffolk, apparently with mounting unpaid bills, the 61-year-old told the Mail On Sunday:"In 1982 they stopped paying me [royalties]. They'd signed to a different record company and had new contracts and were advised they didn't need to pay me any more. "I should have got a lawyer. But instead I called them rude words and asked how they could just stop paying me. They all know it's not right. In fact it is outrageous. They get all the money and I get the plaudits and praise, even from Mick. I've tried to talk to Mick a couple of times, but I realise that hiring a lawyer is probably the only way they'll take me seriously. But they figure I'm not going to do anything about it." - more on this story
