Mick Jagger, Sarah Jessica Parker and More Gather for L'Wren Scott Memorial in New York City


The Rolling Stones frontman sang "Just Like a Woman" at a memorial for L'Wren Scott attended by close family and friends of the designer at St. Bartholomew's Church in Manhattan, according to information released by a rep for Jagger.


Scott committed suicide in March at the age of 49. Sarah Jessica Parker, Ellen Barkin and fashion scene fixture André Leon Talley were among the mourners who gathered to celebrate Scott's life in her adopted home of New York. A private funeral previously took place at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.

Fashion journalist Cathy Horyn and sculptor Rachel Feinstein also joined Scott's brother, Randy Bambrough, his daughter, Hannah; Mick's son James Jagger and grandchildren Mazie and Zak, both of whom read Psalm 23. 

R&B artist Lisa Fischer sang "Amazing Grace" and Hannah and James shared poems.The service was officiated by Rev. Lynn C. Sanders. A private reception was held afterward. Scott died March 17, having hanged herself in her Manhattan apartment. 


"We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves," Jagger later wrote on Facebook. "She had great presence and her talent was 

much admired, not least by me. "I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received."

The Rolling Stones had been in Australia and immediately suspended their tour while Jagger flew to the U.S. Their 14 on Fire tour is scheduled to resume May 26 at Telenor Arena in Oslo and they have since added new dates— including June 4 in Tel Aviv—since their original itinerary was announced.

Ex-Pussycat Doll Kaya Jones woos Indian fans

Not many artists can claim to have been signed on to a record label at the age of 13, even more so when the label belonged to the King of R& B R. Kelly. But former The Pussycat Dolls member, Kaya Jones, is part of this privileged minority. 

The singer, who has also provided backup vocals for Mick Jagger's Golden Globe winning song Old Habits Die Hard , is currently on her first tour of India. 

She performed in Hyderabad on February 19 and in Pune on February 20. After her gig in Hard Rock Cafe in Delhi on today , Jones will perform in Mumbai and Bangalore over the weekend to finish with the last leg in India. 



" My shows in India, so far, have been wonderful. I'm really looking forward to the Delhi concert. I have fallen in love with Indian people and their energy," the Hollywood Doll singer said. 
Jones first came to prominence in 2003 when she was chosen among thousands of other singers and signed to become a Pussycat Doll. 



As part of the group, her vocals were featured in the soundtracks of films such as Shark Tale and Shall We Dance? Despite the group's recording of Sway for Shall We Dance? receiving critical acclaim, Jones soon left the group for a solo career. The group itself disbanded in 2009. 10 years down the line, Jones is happy with her career and doesn't miss The Pussycat Dolls. As for the possibility of a reunion, she said, " My focus right now is on my solo album. Nothing will happen till it is launched." Her album Rise of the Phoenix is set to release on April 29 and will be her third solo collection. 
Jones has also diversified into developing a fashion and beauty line for girls and has her own recording company.
