Mick Jagger Forms Super Group

With Dave Stewart, Joss Stone, Damian Marley, and AR Rahman: one Stones frontman, one Eurythmics founder, one English soul singer, plus Bob Marley's youngest son, and India's most famous film composer. They call themselves "Super Heavy".

The super group has four vocalists, so Jagger does "other things" besides singing, including playing guitar and a producing lots of "high energy" mouth organ. The music is informed by all of the band's contributors, ranging "from reggae to ballads to Indian songs in Urdu".

Super Heavy was Stewart's idea, inspired by the sounds washing into his home in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica.
