Now the esoteric cult of Kabbalah can add the name of Sir Mick Jagger to that of Madonna on its list of followers.
The Rolling Stones star was spotted sporting a Kabbalah bracelet on his way to a meeting in London.

Rolling Stone gathers a bracelet: Sir Mick sports his Kabbalah charm
The string charm, which supposedly protects against the "evil eye", has already been seen on the wrists of Madonna, Billie Piper, Paris Hilton and Victoria Beckham.
Kabbalah is a Jewish tradition based on medieval interpretations of the Old Testament.
The website of the London Kabbalah Centre says its purpose is "to make accessible the ancient wisdom and tools of Kabbalah in order to illuminate minds and hearts".
Another centre, in Jerusalem, promises to show followers how to "remove every form of chaos, pain and suffering" and "ultimately to erase even death itself".

Spiritual: Sir Mick's girlfriend L'Wren Scott could be behind his decision to wear the Kabbalah bracelet
Devotees of the not-for-profit organisation are also advised to drink blessed water, which can cost nearly £4 a bottle.
Kabbalah has its detractors, among them some rabbis who have denounced it as crackpot mysticism.
Sir Mick, 64, seems to have shown more interest in the spiritual side of life after getting together with L'Wren Scott.
Last month, the couple stayed at the 347-room Indian palace home of the Maharaja of Jodhpur and collected mystical trinkets for their £10million Chelsea mansion.
Last year, when the Stones were on tour in South America, Sir Mick took time out to have his "auras cleansed" in a smoke ceremony conducted by a roadside shaman.
His former wife, Jerry Hall, had turned to Kabbalah herself after their very public split. That came on the back of his fling with Brazilian model Luciana Morad, who had Sir Mick's love child eight years ago.

Sir Mick, who comes from a Roman Catholic family, is not known for strong religious beliefs.
He married Miss Hall at a Balinese Hindu wedding in 1990, which he later said was void in order to make their divorce settlement less costly.
Miss Scott, a 40-year-old model who is widely seen as his soulmate, was raised by Mormon adoptive parents in Utah.
When Sir Mick was photographed with the bracelet, he was on his way to meet Simon Fuller, the music mogul who launched the Spice Girls.
Fuller is worth £450million and Sir Mick a hardly less modest £230million.
