The Rolling Stones want to play a special concert in Iraq for British and American soldiers.
Frontman Mick Jagger says the legendary rockers would be prepared to perform in the war ravaged country to raise the troops' morale but only if they are asked by military chiefs or the US or UK government.
He said: "The boys are doing a very professional and a very tough job over there and they aren't getting a lot of fun. If we were asked to go it would be a very, very serious consideration.
"Just because I don't support the policy doesn't mean I don't support the troops. That was one of the tragedies of Vietnam."
Despite his generous offer, Mick believes most of the soldiers would prefer to see a bevy of beautiful girls on stage than him and his ageing bandmates. He added: "To be honest, the troops would probably be more interested in seeing a lot of pretty girls than us."
Earlier this week, Jagger confessed he is scared of living in London.
The legendary singer expresses his fear in new song 'Rain Fall Down' which contains the lyrics, "Feel like we're living in a battleground/Everyone's jazzed."
Mick admits he has become even more terrified since London's recent 7/7 terrorist bombings.
He revealed: "It's a scary time. After the bombs, there were so many armed police in the streets. Walking around, seeing machine guns, is not how you imagine London to be."
