 PRAGUE, Czech (Rolling Stones Fans Website) - Mick Jagger is celebrating his 60th birthday with a party in Prague. He chose the Czech Republic's capital as his venue ahead of a show in the historic spot tomorrow evening. Details of his bash are a closely guarded secret, although there is speculation he will let his hair down at the British embassy and ambassador's residence in the Thun Palace. Guests expected at the event include former Czech President Vaclav Havel who first met the singer in 1990. Havel was reported to have bought his friend some artwork as a birthday present - a 2ft-high crystal vase by the statesman's favourite artist Borek Sipek. It was also rumoured the Stones will walk across Prague's famed medieval Charles Bridge later today to visit an exhibition of paintings by the band's guitarist Ronnie Wood which opened in the city earlier this week. Mick is only the second member of the current line-up to hit 60, behind Charlie Watts. Keith Richards joins them in December. Jagger and the band are currently on the European leg of their 40 Licks world tour. The Stones gig at Letna Park, which overlooks central Prague, is their fourth appearance in the city during the past 13 years.
