The Rolling Stones frontman, 77, reads from WH Auden’s poem For Friends Only in the 90-second clip titled Your Room Will Be Ready , which is an emotional watch for music lovers amid the COVID-19 pandemic, as it shows both the legendary London venue empty and filled to the brim with fans.
The concert hall holds special memories for the Satisfaction hitmakers, who have played the venue four times, including in September 1963, when they shared a bill with The Beatles.
Jagger commented: “Without doubt the Royal Albert Hall is one of the greatest concert venues in the world and so I was delighted to be asked to read a short poem by W.H. Auden as part of this excellent short film by Tom Harper.
