Mick Jagger's wrap party 'broken up by police after Italian mayor complains'

The wrap party for Sir Mick Jagger, Dakota Johnson and Jessie Buckley’s new film was reportedly broken up by police.

The Rolling Stones legend - who recently announced a new album - is thought to be playing the role of Josh O’Connor’s lighthouse keeper father in the drama Three Incestuous Sisters.

The singer, 82, was recently spotted filming on the set of the remote volcanic Italian island Stromboli, off the coast of Sicily.

He is believed to have stayed in the villa where her co-star Isabella Rossellini’s father, Roberto Rossellini, famously began his scandalous affair with her mother Ingrid Bergman.

The bash to celebrate the end of filming was reportedly stormed by police due to a noise complaint from Riccardo Gullo, the mayor of the nearby island Lipari.

Jagger and his co-stars reacted with “perplexity mixed with hilarity” to the police’s arrival, according to The Telegraph.

The rocker left Stromboli in a private helicopter.

Stromboli’s head of tourism Rosa Olivia hit out at Gullo for reportedly calling the police.

Olivia said rather than being “valued and supported” after a winter of bad weather and suspended ferries, the remote island had been “penalised”.

She said the cast should have been welcomed rather than face “punitive intervention”.

“From the Mayor of Lipari, one would have expected a welcome to the guests, or at least a greeting and a thank you for their crucial contribution to the Aeolian economy and their visibility,” she said.

“Our islands live off tourism.”

The Standard has contacted Gullo’s office for comment.

Three Incestuous Sisters, based on the gothic 2005 “visual novel” of the same name, focuses on three sisters who vie for the romantic attentions of the lighthouse keeper’s son.

It is directed by Alice Rohrwacher and also stars Saoirse Ronan and Rossellini.

Rohrwacher is set to helm a script she wrote with Ottessa Moshfegh that is loosely based on the book.

Jagger has acted in several films in the past, making his debut in Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg’s Performance, in which he played a burned-out, decadent rock star.

He also played a ruthless corporate mercenary in Geoff Murphy’s 1992 sci-fi film Freejack, a drag queen in Sean Mathias’s 2015 Bent and a business executive running an escort agency in George Hickenlooper’s The Man From Elysian Fields in 2001.

More recently, he portrayed a reclusive art collector in Italian director Giuseppe Capotondi’s 2019 noir The Burnt Orange Heresy.

Earlier this month, The Rolling Stones announced their new album Foreign Tongues, which drops on July 10.

It is set to feature appearances from former Beatles bass player Sir Paul McCartney and The Cure frontman Robert Smith.

The record follows 2023’s Hackney Diamonds that also featured McCartney playing bass on the song Bite My Head Off, and it will also feature appearances from Steve Winwood, formerly of The Spencer Davis Group and Traffic, late drummer Charlie Watts, and Red Hot Chilli Peppers drummer Chad Smith.

Speaking about the new album, Jagger said: “I love doing these recording sessions in London at Metropolis. It was a very intense few weeks recording Foreign Tongues. We had 14 great tracks and we went as fast as we could.

“I like the room there as it’s not too big so you can feel the passion in the room from everyone.”

His bandmate Keith Richards added: “The Foreign Tongues album has a continuity from Hackney Diamonds and it was great to be working in London again, and to have that London vibe around us.

“It was a month of concentrated punch. To me, it’s all about the enjoyment of it. I’m blessed to be able to do this and long may it last.”
