The Rolling Stones and their fans in Cuba finally spent the night together as the band performed a historic free concert in Havana.
The band opened the show with Jumpin’ Jack Flash and lead singer Sir Mick Jagger addressed the crowd in Spanish saying: “Hola Habana, buenas noches mi gente de Cuba” – which translates as “Hello Havana, goodnight my people of Cuba”, state media reported.
He continued: “Here we are finally! We are sure that this night is going to be an unforgettable night, for you and for us.”
He added: “We know that years ago it was difficult to listen to our music here in Cuba, but here we are, playing for you in your beautiful land. I think that finally things have changed, haven’t they?”
The show went ahead despite reports that the Pope had tried to halt the Good Friday concert.
A tour insider told the Mirror: “The band’s team were flabbergasted when the Vatican got in touch by letter – couldn’t believe their eyes.
“Much as they didn’t want to upset the Pope, they had a contract to play and were going to honour it.
“They have made a promise to the Cuban people and won’t let them down.”
