Mick Jagger's Near-Death Overdose: The Rolling Stones' Dark Secret

0:00It's May 2nd. Welcome in. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, where pop culture meets AI. I'm Corey with The Story. Mick Jagger has fired up over a new biography, claiming he almost died from a heroin overdose back in 1976. The book, called The Rolling Stones, The Biography by Bob Spitz, says the now 82-year-old frontman collapsed in a New York apartment, lips, turning blue after scoring drugs late at night. According to record producer Marshall Chess, Jagger showed up buzzed from a party, they hunted down some bad stuff from a dealer, and Mick blacked out. Cold. Chess tried slapping him awake, and even gave mouth to mouth before paramedics rushed in with oxygen. Jagger's inner circle calls the story exaggerated speculation, based on fuzzy memories from decades ago. They admit the stones had wild excesses in their early days, but say this tale goes too far into drama. Jerry Hall, his ex-wife, once wrote about kicking him out until he got clean, and he
