Ageing Rolling Stone, Mick Jagger, is known to be a bit parsimonious with his sheckles. So if he was going to have his “soul cleansed” by a shaman, we’d expect it to be a cut-price job.

For only 20 Mexican pesos (~$2, £1), the roadside shaman (pictured) offered to cleanse his aura. With Jagger’s small son Lucas looking on, the healer performed a brief ceremony to wipe away the 62-year-old rocker’s sins. Bad energy was expelled in the traditional way using amulets, tree branches and smoke from tobacco leaves.

In Mexican lore, the ceremony is said to deliver wealth, love and health. Whether Mick is lacking any of those is a matter of speculation.

The important question is whether a cleansed Jagger will be able to sustain his role as the “bad boy of rock” when he rejoins his fellow Rolling Stones.
