Mick Was The Love Of Her Life... And He Was Beside Himself With Grief When She Died

Brother on tragic loss of L'wren Scott

- Christopher Bucktin

With one simple action, posting a photo of L’Wren Scott on her birthday as he has every year since her suicide, Mick Jagger shows the world how he is still mourning his “lover and best friend”.

On April 28, the day she would have turned 56, the Rolling Stones frontman wrote “Happy birthday L’Wren. MJ” – a mark of remembrance for the woman he had been with for 13 years before she was found dead in her Manhattan apartment on March 17, 2014, by an assistant.

Now, for the first time since she died, fashion designer L’Wren’s brother has broken his silence to pay tribute to his sister and heap praise on Mick, who has “never forgotten” L’Wren’s family.

Randall Bambrough, 64, says: “I think she was the love of his life and Mick was the love of her life. If it wasn’t for L’Wren’s passing I think Mick and she would still be together.”

Mick is now in a relationship with ballerina Melanie Hamrick, 33, mother of his eighth child Deveraux, three.

But as we talk in the back garden at his home on Ogden, Utah, Randall speaks with deep affection for Mick, denying his and L’Wren’s estranged sister, Jan Shane’s claim that the singer failed to support the grieving family or send condolences after the suicide.

Randall is still at a loss to say what drove L’Wren to take her own life at 49, devastating her family and Mick.

Randall says: “Certainly, as far as we were aware, there was nothing that came between them. We never ever saw anything that would lead us to believe that everything wasn’t right.”
