Just days later he attended the BRIT Awards and reportedly hired Sir Mick Jagger’s security guard to keep him safe during the star-studded bash.
Another insider said: “Like Mick, he has to take security very seriously.
“And as Mick is such an idol of his, it makes sense that he would look to him to inspire his choice of staff – as well as his choices of fashion and hairstyle.”
