Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger escaped an assassination plot hatched by the Hells Angels, a new British Broadcasting Corp. documentary claims.
A program to be broadcast Monday on BBC Radio 4 says the rock star was targeted in 1969 following a purported dispute with the motorcycle gang over concert security.
The Hells Angels had been hired on recommendation of the Grateful Dead as security (according to some accounts) at the Altamont Speedway in California for a free concert featuring the Jefferson Airplane, Flying Burrito Brothers and the Stones, among other acts, in December 1969
