Mick Jagger, lead singer of The Rolling Stones, held a moment of silence in tribute to Charlie Kirk during a September 2025 concert.
Following the fatal shooting of conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk in September 2025, a number of claims regarding Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger's apparent reaction to Kirk's death spread across social media.
Popular posts on Facebook (archived) and X (archived) claimed Jagger held a moment of silence in tribute of Kirk and 9/11 victims at a concert in New York City. The Facebook post went into more detail, claiming Jagger's concert was in a "packed arena" of 20,000 on Sept. 12. A number of Snopes readers reached out to ask whether the claims were true.
These claims were false. There was no evidence Jagger held a moment of silence in honor of Kirk. As of Sept. 15, 2025, Jagger had not publicly reacted to Kirk's death.
The Rolling Stones last went on tour (archived) in summer 2024. Multiple ticket and concert schedule websites, such as Seat Geek (archived), JamBase (archived) and Song Kick (archived), showed Jagger was not on tour in September 2025. Jagger's website (archived) also did not mention an ongoing tour.
The two largest arenas in New York City most capable of hosting such a concert are Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center. Kali Uchis performed in Madison Square Garden on Sept. 12. Anuel AA performed in Barclays Center on that date.
