NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: A claim about Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger holding a moment of silence in tribute to Charlie Kirk during a September 2025 concert in New York City has circulated on social media.

The rumor emerged in the days following Kirk’s fatal shooting at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, September 10. But is there any truth to the rumor? Let’s find out.

Claim: Mick Jagger held a tribute for Charlie Kirk at a concert in September 2025



 

Posts on Facebook and X alleged that Jagger paused a show in a “packed arena” of 20,000 on September 12 to honor both Kirk and 9/11 victims.

Some users even shared supposed screenshots of Jagger condemning the reaction to Kirk’s death, while others quoted him as saying, “I’ve never witnessed anything this sick.”

Fact Check: False, Mick Jagger did not pay tribute to Charlie Kirk

There is no evidence that Mick Jagger held a moment of silence or commented publicly on Kirk’s death. The Rolling Stones last toured in summer 2024, and multiple concert schedule sites, including SeatGeek, JamBase, and Songkick confirmed Jagger had no shows in September 2025.

His official website likewise listed no ongoing tour dates.

As for the specific claim of a New York City concert on September 12, Madison Square Garden hosted Kali Uchis, while Anuel AA performed at Barclays Center that same evening. Neither venue had Jagger scheduled.

Additionally, a Google search for “Mick Jagger Charlie Kirk tribute” turned up no credible reports. The quotes attributed to Jagger on X could not be found on his verified account and appear to have been fabricated.

Jagger did not hold a moment of silence for Kirk in New York City, nor has he publicly commented on Kirk’s death. The claims originated entirely from false social media posts.

Conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has died at the age of 31 after being shot during a campus appearance at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, September 10. 

News of Kirk’s death was first confirmed by President Donald Trump in a statement on Truth Social. Kirk had been hosting one of his well-known “Prove Me Wrong” sessions, part of his American Comeback Tour, when the attack unfolded. Video circulating online showed the 31-year-old fielding a question beneath a white pop-up tent when a shot rang out, striking him in the neck.



 

He was rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition but was later pronounced dead. Kirk leaves behind his wife, former Miss Arizona USA Erika Frantzve, and their two young children.
