The song goes on to use grotesque descriptions to touch on themes of sexual violence and rape, while brown sugar is also commonly known slang for heroin.
Jagger, when asked about the song's absence from their recent set lists, told The Los Angeles Times they had decided to give the song a break. Speaking about the song's meaning, Richards, 77, added: 'I'm trying to figure out with the sisters quite where the beef is. One lyric that was altered after the song's release was: 'Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good? The band have decided to stop performing Brown Sugar on this tour.
Jagger explained in an interview back in that he was uncomfortable with the lyrics of the song, which was named as number in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the Greatest Songs of All Time. I'd think, 'Oh God, I can't. I've got to stop. I can't just write raw like that. It is understood that Brown Sugar was written by Jagger for his former love interest lover American singer Marsha Hunt, who bore Jagger's first child Karis. The Stones' latest - and possibly final - performance of the track was in Miami, Florida, in , when the controversial lyrics provoked a fierce backlash from the woke brigade.
Although it is unclear why the Rolling Stones decided to remove Brown Sugar from their setlist now, their last performance of the track prompted debate around whether the band should stop singing the song altogether. Writing in the Chicago Tribune, music producer Ian Brennan said: 'The issue today is not that they ever wrote the song.
The fault is that they keep singing it. It has commonly been thought that Brown Sugar was written by Jagger to his former lover American singer Marsha Hunt pictured , who bore Jagger's first child Karis. The song, which reached number one in the US and number two in the UK and Ireland in the first year of its release, has been controversial from the start, and the band have frequently tried to tone down the lyrics. Many of the hit track's lyrics have come under fire over the years for being controversial and speaking explicitly about rape, violence and slavery.
But the Rolling Stones' decision to drop the track so they do not have to face the 'conflict' has triggered a furious backlash among Twitter fans who claimed 'cancel culture' is ruining western civilizations. One person from Massachusetts, who goes by Twitter handle mohdux2, penned: 'Art is supposed to challenge and offend. Don't stop playing your songs!!! Brown Sugar is a treasure.
Iain Douglas, from South Lakes, fumed: 'So for over 50yrs they've played this song, made millions from it, entertained countless people who equally have enjoyed it Both young and old but in today's 'Cancel Culture' doesn't suit, and these were once classed as 'Rebels'.
Phil Lohan tweeted: 'I'm just glad I've been to see them sing it live before 'offence culture' took over'. Oldhams Removals, who describe themselves as Warwickshire's finest removal and Storage Company, wrote: 'If this is the case there are going to be so many songs not played or performed for fear of offending someone!
And one Liverpool resident, who goes by the Twitter handle Jimmic29, commented: 'Wokedom is destroying western civilisation everyday, at the expense of matters of great importance. Another, who goes by the username LazarusAntichr1, wrote: 'I guess the Left doesn't understand what this song is trying to say. As usual. Rolling Stones' fans have taken to Twitter to express their irritation that 'woke' culture has forced Brown Sugar to be removed from live shows.
It is not the first time the classic has come under fire, with Vulture describing the song as 'gross, sexist, and stunningly offensive toward black women' in It is believed that American-born singer Marsha Hunt was the woman who inspired Jagger to write the 70s classic Brown Sugar. Jagger's ex-lover Hunt first crossed paths with the rock star after she appeared as the female lead in the controversial musical Hair.
A romance quickly began to blossom between the pair and Jagger had an affair with Hunt while he was dating his girlfriend-of-three years Marianne Faithfull. Mick got his PA to contact Marsha to ask her to appear on the cover of the Stones' new single, Honky Tonk Women, and within days their clandestine affair was in full swing.
On July 5, , Mick announced his affair with Hunt, who he shares their first child Karis together, in typically public fashion while performing at a concert. Sitting in the crowd, just yards from his live-in girlfriend Faithfull, was singer Marsha. Mick opened the musical part of the show by belting out a cover version of the rock song I'm Yours And I'm Hers. Two days later, Marianne and Jagger flew to Australia where he was due to begin playing the starring role in the flop film Ned Kelly and within months, his relationship with Faithfull was over and he moved Hunt into his Chelsea house.
Already missing Marianne's son, Nicholas, to whom he had become a surrogate father, he took Marsha out to Mr Chow restaurant in Knightsbridge, where he asked her to have his child. But their relationship faltered not long after and Jagger dumped Hunt when she was pregnant in Hunt gave birth to Karis on November 4, , at St Mary's hospital in Paddington, and she went through the birth alone.
Soon after ending his relationship with Hunt, he moved year-old Californian model Catherine James, who had recently dated his friend Eric Clapton, into his Chelsea home. After the relationship turned sour, Hunt was forced to take Jagger on in a legal battle to make him acknowledge Karis was his daughter and pay his way in her upbringing.
But his lawyers insisted his former lover sign papers saying he was not the father. By the time Karis was seven, her mother was reduced to claiming welfare handouts in Los Angeles where she moved in a bid to revive her flagging showbiz career. In , when Karis graduated from America's prestigious Yale University, her proud father was there, video camera in hand.
Mick also invited her to Buckingham Palace when he accepted his knighthood from Prince Charles in A year earlier, he wiped away tears when he was on hand to give away Karis — now a film producer in Los Angeles — as she married film director Jonathan Watson. The singer said the letters chronicling their 'delicate love affair' that was kept secret until touch on subjects such as the first moon landing and John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
In poetic mood in another letter, Mick ruminates: 'If I sailed with you around the world, all my sails would be unfurled. Speaking about the letters in a statement, Hunt said: 'When a serious historian finally examines how and why Britain's boy bands affected international culture and politics, this well-preserved collection of Mick Jagger's hand written letters will be a revelation.
This is part of English history, it is part of rock history, part of cultural history and it corrects all the misinformation,' she said, according to Rolling Stone. Elsewhere, the band was asked what it was like to be on tour without Charlie Watts, their drummer, who died aged 80 in August, having never missed a show.
