It has emerged in a retrospective FBI radio show that rubber-lipped Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger nearly got taken out by the notorious Hells Angels, following a dispute over security at the infamous 1969 Altamont Speedway Free Concert. The assassination plot was only foiled after the would-be assailants boat got swamped in a storm.
The row started after the Angels stabbed and kicked an 18-year-old black girl to death, Meredith Hunter allegedly had a firearm in the concert, but her death shocked the Stones and forced Jagger to reassess his 'security' choices.
The Angels allegedly became so infuriated by Jagger's treatment that they decided that killing him –– launching a surprise attack from the sea, to be precise –– was the only option. But, the boat embarked on stormy seas sending all of the Angels overboard and the plot was then scrapped.
Apparently, Jagger was never told of the plot... until now...

He should have assassinated. Would have lived forever, like Brain Jones. Better to burn out than to fade away.

Well, Since I was 7 in 69, I have to trust the stories and the print - but this is got it all wrong - 1 it was a dude, not a black woman who got themselves killed - check your facts - 1st rule of jounalism! - From Wikipedia - even they have the real story Meredith Hunter, an 18-year-old black man, became involved in an altercation with some Hells Angels and drew a long-barreled revolver. It is clear that Hunter drew his weapon before he was stabbed the first time. He was stabbed five times in total and kicked to death during the Rolling Stones' performance (his gruesome death near the stage was clearly captured on film by three cameras). The alleged killer, Alan Passaro, was arrested and tried for murder in the summer of 1972, but was acquitted after a jury concluded he acted in self-defense because Hunter was carrying a handgun, drew it, and allegedly pointed it at the stage
