British Prime Minister David Cameron has made his musical tastes well known over the past several weeks, but recently he's found himself in a bit of a musical tiff. Rolling Stones frontman and jangly skeleton dancer Mick Jagger pulled out of an event hosted by the PM because he felt he was being used as a "political football."

Jagger was scheduled to appear at the Davos Summit in Switzerland to take part in a campaign to promote foreign investment alongside famous Brits like model Lily Cole and inventor Tim Berners-Lee who invented a little series of tubes called the Internet. However, he has now pulled out after wishing to steer clear of any outright political endorsements.
