THE Rolling Stones' tragic and tumultuous stay in Australia is at an end after the band departed Perth in their private jet this afternoon.
Early this afternoon, the band left the Hyatt Perth under a police escort for Perth Airport, where their jet took off slightly ahead of schedule at 2.55pm.
A motorcade of four cars left the hotel just after 2pm, escorted by one police car, as a crowd of about 30 people got a glimpse as the band members sped away.

The car arrived at Perth Airport and drove straight on to the tarmac before the band and their crew were quickly ushered into the Boeing 767.

As the band prepared to depart Perth this morning, after the sudden death earlier this week of Mick Jagger's girlfriend, L'Wren Scott, there was some brighter news for fans.
Late this morning, Frontier Touring updated Facebook to confirm they were aiming to set new dates for the Australia and New Zealand legs of the postponed tour.
Frontier Touring said: "At this very sad time we would like to reassure Rolling Stones fans and ticket holders that every effort is currently being made to reschedule the postponed Australia and New Zealand dates for October/November 2014.
