Joe Jagger, 93, the father of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, died Saturday of pneumonia at a hospital outside London, a spokesman for the singer said.

The senior Jagger, a former schoolteacher, was admitted to the hospital more than a week ago after falling in his home, the spokesman told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Mick Jagger, 63, who has been in the United States on the Stones’ “A Bigger Bang” tour, traveled to Britain on Friday to see his father and flew back to Las Vegas later that day.
