Joss Stone is to perform a Christmas duet with Mick Jagger - the 17-year-old singer and the 61-year-old Rolling Stone have recorded a version of Mud's 'Lonely This Christmas'. Presumably it will be released in time for the Christmas chart and, boy band releases and dreary ballads from cult movies permitting, could well be a contender for the festive number one spot.
Meanwhile, as previously reported, Stone has also recorded a version of 'Alfie' for the soundtrack of the remake of the legendary film. That project also came courtesy of Jagger, who is coordinating the 'Alfie' with Dave Stewart. The pair co-wrote the soundtrack's key song, 'Old Habits Die Hard' which also features Jaggers' vocals.
