Photographer David Bailey has revealed Mick Jagger, once dubbed a "penny-pinching Scrooge", in all his tight-fisted glory at last. Britain's most famous fashion photographer was interviewed for a new Stones biography, According to the Rolling Stones, and the picture he paints of the rubber-lipped singer is not altogether flattering. "Shortly after we met, Mick asked me to take him to a 'posh' restaurant," says Bailey. "I think he liked my lifestyle, especially all the girls, although I was then much more of a bad boy than he was. I decided we should go to a place down the King's Road. I remember that Mick paid, which was unusual in those days because back then he never paid for anything. I told him to leave a tip and he said: 'Leave a tip? What the fuck for?' I said it was normal practice and suggested he leave a 10-shilling note, one of those old brown banknotes. Mick put the 10-bob note on the plate, but as we were putting our coats on, I noticed his hand slip out and put the 10 shillings back in his pocket."
