Bing: Rolling Stones fined for breaking curfew
A video featuring Johnny Depp, the Who guitarist Pete Townshend and Iggy Pop
talking about the rockers kicked off the show at the O2 Arena. Pop joked of the
band, "We'd never seen people with teeth like that. And skin like that. Ugh! ...
The sound of Keith's guitar, it was like being hit with a dead mackerel."
Frontman Mick Jagger referenced the fact that their set broke a local
curfew during their first London show last Sunday, costing the band
$160,000 in fines. He also took the opportunity to joke about the
astronomical ticket prices some fans paid to attend the concert, telling the
crowd, "We're more relaxed tonight. We'll get to play the whole thing. We had to
pay 100,000 pounds because we went on too long. That's like ... 10 seats!"
Florence + the Machine frontwoman Welch joined Jagger for "Gimme Shelter,"
and guitar legend Eric Clapton also took to the stage, playing blues guitar on
the song "Champagne and Reefer."
