Rolling Stones to spend night together at historic Cuba gig

The Rolling Stones arrived in Cuba on the eve of the rock band’s historic free concert in a country where their music was once silenced.

After the band’s private jet arrived at Jose Marti airport in Havana with the four veteran rockers, family members, and about 60 technical workers, Mick Jagger offered a brief greeting in Spanish and said he was happy to be on the island.

Last night’s concert at Havana’s Ciudad Deportiva arena came three days after US president Barack Obama ended a visit to the communist-run island during which he declared an end to the last remnant of the Cold War in the Americas.
