Mick Jagger blacks out hotel windows for solitude on spiritual trip

Rolling Stone member Mick Jagger is said to have been so keen on finding solitude that he even blacked out the windows of his luxury suite during his spiritual trip to the Far East.

Jagger, 67, is said to have dined alone and to have gone out only to visit temples and meditate with monks.

He also drank just water during his week in the city of Luang Prabang in Laos, South East Asia.

"Mick booked two rooms in the hotel - one for himself, the other for his luggage," the Sun quoted a source as saying.

"His room boasts the best view overlooking the mountains and Phousi Temple. But he then blacked out all the windows, even though the hotel is in a remote location and away from prying eyes.

"He clearly wanted to be at one with himself. Mick uses the trip to regenerate himself.

"He spent hours with monks in the temples and chanted with them. He practises Buddhism and meditation every day. He says it's the first thing he does when he gets up in the morning.

"Mick stays in different places and has a lot of contacts among the monks. He's said it's his favourite place in the world," the source added.
