(Rock Radio) Mick Taylor's manager says the former Rolling Stones guitarist is "horrified" over the contents of a Daily Mail interview which stated he was preparing to sue his ex-bandmates. Jeff Allen, who also plays drums in the Mick Taylor Band, says there's no need to take legal action. The Mail quoted Taylor as saying he hadn't been paid since 1982 and he was considering a lawsuit over the immorality of the situation.

"Mick certainly didn't say he was going to sue the Stones," Allen says. "He's got a very good relationship with them....The last time we met up, him and Keith Richards were like long-lost lovers, hugging each other and happy to see each other. When Mick was ill some weeks ago Mick Jagger had his office phone up to see what was going on, then phoned the hospital just to check on Mick.

"So there's no animosity between Mick and the Stones. You can imagine the shock, horror and disbelief when that article came out in the Daily Mail. The emphasis was that Mick was some kind of run-down tramp living in Suffolk. The reality is Mick's having the house done up, and he's living in Holland at the moment with his girlfriend."
