In 2020, in the midst of the COVID 19 pandemic, the Rolling Stones they released the song “Living in a ghost town”made of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. The release of the single reached the ears of the Argentine musician Sergio Garcia Fernandez, nicknamed Sergio Leon and leader of the Spanish musical group angelslang, that he presented on Friday, March 10, before a court of New Orleansa lawsuit for plagiarism against the leaders of the legendary English band.
The Argentine maintains that both musicians “took several key and recognizable elements protected by law without authorization” from their songs. “So sorry” (2006) and “Seed of God” (2007). The key to the case is that Sergio León and the Angelslang accompanied the soloist Chris Jagger, singer’s brother Mick jagger, during some shows in Spain and they gave him a CD with his songs, a fact documented in an e-mail included as evidence in the lawsuit.
In that email from Chris, it is stated that the Iberian group has a sound that “will surely interest the biggest band in the world”, implying that it was going to approach them. According to the River Plate composer, at the time linked to the Argentine hard rock band Alakran, who has lived for almost thirty years in Spain, the theme “Living in a ghost town” he took elements including “the vocal melodies, chord progression, drum beats, harmonica part, bass lines, tempo, and other details of his own” from his song so sorry”.
“Ten years ago, the lyricist of the Angelslang group was in close contact with Chris Jagger, brother of Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones. Both of them shared and exchanged opinions about the songs and the musical style of the band Angelslang, which could appeal to the members of The Rolling Stones, and delivered several Angelslang music CDs to Chris Jagger, two for him and two for Mick Jagger,” the US Billboard magazine told the story, echoing it.
The Argentinian Sergio Garcia Leon has played with chris jagger in various meetings. There are numerous records and recordings, uploaded to different platforms, in which the composer of the Angelslang group is seen sharing the stage with Mick Jagger’s brother. The same, they say, would happen with him and exchange of emails for the organization of the tour of Madrid. Currently, The Rolling Stones is in production of their new album, in charge of the experienced producer Andrew Wattwhich now enters the mixing phase. Mick jagger confirmed in 2021 that the band already had “a large number of songs done”.
