NEW YORK CITY MAYOR FUMED OVER ‘SMOKING’ ON STAGE AT STONES CONCERT; BAND RACED OUT OF GARDEN AVOIDING COPS
**Exclusive**
New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg is fuming mad over Rolling Stones members smoking on stage at Madison Square Garden during a nationally televised concert this weekend, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
“The mayor sent cops to issue summonses,” one stage source told the DRUDGE REPORT late Saturday. “But the cops watched the show, off stage, by a monitor, instead of stopping the concert.”
HBO cameras captured band members Keith Richards and Ron Wood smoking cigarettes while performing.
“The band raced out of the Garden after they finished their last number, avoiding the police,” an insider said. “The music had not even finished playing; and they were in cars already, spinning away. The did not even go to their dressing rooms!”
