ROLLING STONES - ROLLING STONES DENY REFUSING BUSH

LATEST: THE ROLLING STONES have rubbished reports they refused to give up their rooms in an Austrian hotel to make space for US President GEORGE W BUSH's impending visit. Frontman SIR MICK JAGGER is horrified by reports he stubbornly held onto his $6,300 (GBP3,600)-a-night suite, and insists the story is a total fabrication. A statement issued by the band reads, "No one associated with Mick Jagger, other members of the Rolling Stones, the tour director, or those responsible for travel arrangements for the tour were ever contacted by the Imperial Hotel, President Bush or anyone on his behalf requesting them to change their reservation."
