Sir Mick Jagger is the latest name — and perhaps one of the biggest — to lend his support to the effort to keep London’s 100 Club open.

The legendary Oxford Street venue is facing closure due to rising costs, despite its history of putting on bands such as the Rolling Stones, the Clash and the Sex Pistols.

As the London Evening Standard reports, Sir Mick is saddened by the potential closure of the venue and feels there is a ‘great need’ for these type of historic, small venues.

He said, “This is really bad news if another great venue is threatened with closure. There’s a real need for these places — they have a connection with the past. And what is important is that you have places where bands can cut their teeth and places of a certain intimacy and size, that new bands can experiment in. There aren’t that many great places in London, or indeed any city, that you can say that about.”
