The Rolling Stones star was allegedly a target for Hells Angels after he no longer used them for security.

BBC Radio 4 will broadcast a documentary on Monday which claims that the notorious Hells Angels planned to assassinate Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger in 1969.

In December 1969, a young man was killed at a Rolling Stones concert at Altamont Speedway in California where Hells Angel members were hired for security. After that incident, Jagger refused to use Hells Angel members as bouncers anymore. The assassination plans began due to these events.

According to The Associated Press, Hells Angels planned to kill Jagger in Long Island, New York at his vacation house. The Angels allegedly tried to reach Jagger by boat but were hit by a severe storm and thrown overboard. After this, they made no further attempts on the rock star's life.

The assassination scheme was originally uncovered during and interview by Mark Young, a former FBI officer. It is unknown whether Jagger was ever told about the Hells Angels plans against him.
