Mick Jagger may spend autumn break in Austria

Mick Jagger is rumoured to come to Austria later this year.

Star news magazines report the Rolling Stones front man has plans to visit vintners and test their products in southern Styria this autumn.

Few details about Sir Mick’s alleged holiday trip have emerged, but rumour has it that the 66-year-old star has set his sights on the picturesque province to wind down for a few days.

Jagger was spotted attending some matches at the current Football World Cup. The singer was reportedly displeased about England and the United States exiting the tournament in the round of the final 16 teams.

"A Bigger Bang" from 2005 is the most recent studio album of the "Stones", while a special edition of their 1972 classic "Exile on Main St." hit the shelves earlier this year.
