Rolling Stones Cancel Gig After Scott's Death

The Rolling Stones have cancelled their concert in Perth after the death of L'Wren Scott - Sir Mick Jagger's girlfriend.

The band had been due to kick off the six concert Australia and New Zealand leg of their world tour on Wednesday.

However, the concert will not be going ahead following the apparent suicide of the fashion designer at her Manhattan apartment on Monday.

It is understood that police do not suspect foul play.

"No further information is available at this time, ticket holders are asked to hold on to their tickets until a further update is available," Frontier Touring said on its Facebook page.

Unconfirmed reports said Jagger, 70, had flown back to New York.

Tributes have poured in for the 49-year-old model, as it emerged her British fashion company had been losing millions of pounds.

A spokesman for Sir Mick, who had been in a relationship with Scott since 2001, said: "He is completely shocked and devastated by the news."

Accounts filed with Companies House in October show Scott's British company, LS Fashion Ltd, was running at a loss of more than £3.5m in 2012, up from more than £2.5m the previous year.

The documents also show the firm owed more than £1m, despite having assets totalling a similar amount.

The Rolling Stones had flown to Australia on Monday ahead of a performance at the Perth Arena, in the west of the country, which had been scheduled to take place on Wednesday.

Three days ago they played a show at the grand ballroom of Singapore's Marina Bay Sands, rounding off the Asian dates of their 14 On Fire tour.

As news broke of her death, tributes from the world of fashion and showbusiness flooded on to Twitter.

Bianca Jagger, one of Sir Mick's former loves, tweeted: "Heartbroken to learn of the loss of the lovely and talented L'Wren Scott. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. May she rest in peace."

Fashion designer Marc Jacobs wrote: "Rest in peace, L'Wren Scott. You'll forever be missed."

Scott and Sir Mick had been together since 2001

Scott, who was originally called Luann Bambrough but changed her name to launch her modelling career in her teens, was brought up in Utah as a Mormon.

She worked in Paris for a number of years, with the likes of Thierry Mugler and Karl Lagerfeld, then went on to return to the US as a stylist. The designer was a wardrobe consultant for films such as Eyes Wide Shut and Ocean's Thirteen.

She met Sir Mick when she worked as a stylist on a photo shoot. She launched her fashion line in 2006 with fans of her work said to include Sarah Jessica Parker, Nicole Kidman and Michelle Obama, and she has also designed for Banana Republic.

Sir Mick's daughter Georgia May Jagger was also in Australia for work but has cancelled a catwalk appearance in Melbourne and flew back to New York.
