Jagger took a snap of himself outside the venue on his return the city yesterday, tweeting: “So long since I’ve been in Liverpool - looking forward to Anfield tomorrow night!”
The 76-year-old also took shots of himself outside the Liver Building and with his arm around the life-size bronze statue of Cilla Black in Mathew Street.
The last time the Rolling Stones were in Liverpool, guitarist Ronnie Wood was yet to join Jagger and fellow guitarist Keith Richards in the line-up.
