(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Bryan Adams has begged The Rolling Stones not to perform at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

The rock band is one of several acts believed to be in the running to play at the opening ceremony next year.

Singer Sir Mick Jagger has revealed the group hasn't actually been approached by event organisers yet. However, they have received some words of wisdom from Canadian rocker Bryan.

"Has anyone actually approached us? No. But Bryan Adams said: 'Whatever you do, don't do any Olympic openings,' after he did the winter Games in Canada," Mick explained.

"It was so cold, and he had to wear this bizarre suit... Although that's not going to happen here - it would just rain."

Mick is currently promoting his new group SuperHeavy.

The band also features Joss Stone, Damian Marley, AR Rahman and Dave Stewart.

Their eponymous debut album is out this month and Mick has discussed making it. He found teaming up with so many other big names strange, especially as they had to lay down tracks fast.

"It was chaotic, but it was also a lot of fun," he said. "Everyone had to subsume their egos to some point. There wasn't really someone who was 'the boss'.

"Everyone was busy, so we set the parameter so on the first ten days, to see how much we could do."

The tracks were largely a collaborative effort, apart from one which was written solely by Mick. He enjoyed getting other people's ideas for lyrics, explaining Dave gave him advice when he was part way through writing it.

"I drifted into the lyrical idea of this guy being drunk in a hotel room, and he'd obviously had a row with his girlfriend.

"Dave said: 'Why doesn't this guy wander across the street where Joss is singing?'" Mick recalled.

"That was a very different way of writing a song. I'd never really done that before." (C) Cover Media
