Mick Jagger’s eclectic new super-group

Rolling Stones frontman creates new band.

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has formed a new rock super-group with other major musicians. Calling themselves Super Heavy, the new band is reportedly in discussions to set up a major record deal, reports Music News.

Joining Jagger, the Super Heavy roster includes singer-songwriter Joss Stone, Damian Marley (son of reggae legend Bob Marley), Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics and Indian musician A.R. Rahman.

"They just finished a record and their first video and are talking to major labels about a deal. The name for the band at the moment is Super Heavy," an unnamed source told the New York Post.

"Each member has a very distinct and different style, but it works," added another source. "Mick has been recording with Dave for a while, and both worked with Joss in the past."

A representative for Jagger, however, stressed that the band is just something the musicians are doing for fun.

"They all thought it would be interesting and great fun to go into the studio and play some music. No video has been shot, no label in place. All a bit premature."
