Kapanlagi.com - The passing of Ria Irawan has saddened the entertainment world in the country. After battling cancer, she finally took her last breath on Monday (6/1). Despite her high fighting spirit against cancer.

Remembering Ria Irawan during her lifetime, there was one unforgettable moment. Who would have thought that Ria was once close to The Rolling Stones member, Mick Jagger. Indeed, this public figure is known for being friendly and easy to get along with.

It all started when Mick Jagger held a concert in Jakarta in 1988. Ria Irawan managed to become the LO (Liaison Officer) for Mick Jagger. Many other artists wanted that position.

 

1. Ria Irawan Rides with Mick Jagger

A photo also shows their closeness. Ria can be seen smiling happily as she rides with Mick Jagger on a bicycle.

Yes, there is a story behind that photo. It was revealed by Arey, a friend of Ria Irawan who is also a journalist at Nona Magazine.

"That was an exclusive photo for Nona Magazine, a group of Kartini Magazine. Because Ria became a contributor to Nona Magazine. Only Ria Irawan could make it, she rented a floor at Hilton Semanggi Hotel with Mick Jagger. She paid for it herself. And she got an exclusive with Mick Jagger, even though many artists at that time really wanted to be his LO. Only Ria succeeded," explained Arey.

2. Playing Pingpong Together

During his stay in Jakarta, Mick Jagger was accompanied by Ria Irawan. Ria managed to get an exclusive interview with him. They even played pingpong together before the concert.

"They played pingpong backstage (at Gelora Bung Karno). Mick Jagger really enjoys playing pingpong before going on stage to avoid tension before performing and also as a form of exercise. So a pingpong table was prepared by Rini Noor," he concluded.
