Mick Jagger has slammed reports claiming his girlfriend L'Wren Scott is the "new Yoko Ono".
The Rolling Stones frontman has hit back after sources claimed his stylist lover was causing a rift within the band.
He fumed: "It is completely untrue to say that L'Wren has caused a rift between myself and the rest of the band.
"She would not dream of interfering with a band who have been on the road for 40 years. In fact the band, their wives and girlfriends are all getting along extremely well."
Mick also slammed rumours claiming L'Wren is desperate to give the rockers a makeover and force bandmate Ronnie Wood to quit smoking.
He said in a statement: "We have not had any disagreements about clothes, smoking or L'Wren, and this is all very hurtful for her. This is all nonsense, everyone has their own style."
Ronnie's wife Jo also denied L'Wren had been interfering in the band's lifestyle.
She added in Mick's statement: "Ronnie is the only one who can stop himself from smoking. No one can tell him to stop. Me and L'Wren went together to stop smoking in Boston three years ago.
"L'Wren has got great taste, is fantastic company and is just one of the girls on tour."
