Mick Jagger is to bring in the New Year with his family and friends at his villa in Mustique after a "hard" year, which has seen him lose his partner, L'Wren Scott, who committed suicide in March.

The Rolling Stones star - whose partner, L'Wren Scott, committed suicide in March - will host a party at his villa on Mustique as normal, despite his tough year.

Mick Jagger will spend New Year's Eve with his family and friends after year of tragedy.

A source said: "L'Wren loved the house in Mustique so it will be tough for Mick to be there without her.

"It's bound to be a poignant few weeks, but Georgia May, Jade and his other children will be close by. Friends like Kate Moss and Tommy Hilfiger will also attend the party."

The 71-year-old singer is likely to stay at the Caribbean hideaway for a month.

The source continued to The Sun newspaper: "Mick's likely to escape the UK for most of January and stay in Mustique.

"2014 has been very hard for him and he's worked throughout - touring with the band and producing the James Brown movie 'Get On Up'."

Meanwhile, Jade recently revealed that her father found comfort in the birth of his grandson Ray and great-granddaughter Ezra, following L'Wren's death.

Jade said previously: "My dad loves babies. He's really good with them and is a big family man.

"He's been through a difficult time but it's been great to have two new babies in the family with the joy they bring."
