Legendary rockers The Rolling Stones have pocketed £2.7 million for a private gig.

The band reportedly earned more than £33,000 per minute during the 80-minute show for 500 bankers.

They entertained guests at a Deutsche Bank party in the Catalan National Art Museum in Barcelona.

Sir Mick Jagger told the crowd: "Thank you for having us. The best part is that it is coming out of your bonuses!"

The band, which has previously charged up to £4 million for a private gig, topped the music rich list in the States for the second time last year, taking £76.2 million.
