Some men drown their sorrows in drink... Mick is drowning his in women
Rock star seen with mystery brunette three months after lover’s suicide
Mick Jagger has been ‘drowning his sorrows’ with women since the suicide of long-time love L’Wren Scott, a friend revealed last night.
The 70-year-old Rolling Stones singer was photographed on the balcony of his hotel room in Zurich last weekend with a mystery brunette decades his junior.
The rock star was left ‘devastated and distraught’ after his 49year-old lover of 13 years was

found hanged in her New York apartment on March 17.
Last night, a friend said: ‘Some men drown their sorrow in drink. Mick doesn’t drink much but he drowns his sorrows in women.’
Another added: ‘She isn’t the first woman he’s been with since L’Wren. He has reverted back to his old ways. This is how he deals with things, even in his 70s.
‘Through good times and bad, the thing that never changes is Mick’s love for women. Sex is like a coping mechanism for him.’
And a close friend admitted: ‘He grieved hard but Mick is someone who has always loved life and loves women. This is just Mick being Mick and moving on the only way he knows how.’
According to reports, Mick Jagger spent two days with the woman after meeting her in a Zurich nightclub following a Rolling Stones gig as part of their 14 On Fire tour.
The band is due to perform in Berlin and Paris later this week.
As well as being pictured shirtless on the balcony of his hotel penthouse suite, he was also seen being embraced by the woman, who appeared to be wear- ing one of his shirts.
A source said Mick had deliberately posed on the balcony ‘to show he’s back in business’.

‘He doesn’t do anything by accident,’ the source added. ‘He will have known photographers were watching. It was just nice to see Mick smiling again.’
Last night, L’Wren’s sister Jan Shane – who was estranged from the fashion designer at the time of her death – said: ‘These pictures make me wonder what Mick is really thinking and feeling.
‘His daughter says that he is heartbroken and devastated about losing my sister, and then you see these photos. He’ll never change.’
L’Wren is said to have killed herself after falling heavily into debt. In a statement in March, Mick said he ‘failed to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way’.
