– Hells Angels plot to assassinate Mick Jagger concert tragedy.
Accident – Death – Obituary News : The infamous 1969 Altamont concert, which ended in tragedy with the fatal stabbing of Meredith Hunter by a Hells Angels member, has resurfaced in the spotlight due to revelations about a subsequent assassination plot against lead singer Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones. This shocking incident has been detailed in an upcoming episode of ‘Secrets of the Hells Angels’, airing on A&E.
According to biker gang legend, the Hells Angels were hired as security for the Altamont concert, but tensions arose when they claimed the Rolling Stones owed them $50,000 in legal fees. In retaliation, the Hells Angels allegedly put a hit out on Mick Jagger, with leader Ralph “Sonny” Barger reportedly seeking to “whack” the rockstar. The episode on A&E delves into the years-long assassination plot and multiple failed attempts to kill Jagger.
One failed attempt involved bikers using a pontoon boat with plastic explosives to target Jagger’s yacht at Martha’s Vineyard. However, the plan went awry when the pontoon flooded and capsized, forcing the bikers to swim back to shore. Despite several attempts on his life, Jagger miraculously survived unscathed.
The feud between the Hells Angels and The Rolling Stones continued for over a decade until the alleged $50,000 debt was finally paid, putting an end to the threats against Jagger. Former Hells Angels President Charles “Peewee” Goldsmith recounts the tense atmosphere surrounding the assassination plot, shedding light on the dangerous vendetta against the rockstar.
The aftermath of the Altamont concert, marred by violence and tragedy, serves as a cautionary tale of the dark side of rock ‘n’ roll history. The Rolling Stones have remained tight-lipped about the alleged payment to the Hells Angels, leaving many questions unanswered.
The shocking revelations unearthed in ‘Secrets of the Hells Angels’ shed new light on a pivotal moment in music history, highlighting the dangerous consequences of a tumultuous era. As the episode airs on A&E, viewers are given a glimpse into the turbulent world of rock ‘n’ roll and the sinister forces that lurked behind the scenes..
