Sir Michael "Mick" Philip Jagger is a British rock musician, actor, writer, composer, record and film producer and businessman. He is most famous for being the lead singer and co-founder (with guitarist Brian Jones) of the British rock and roll band The Rolling Stones.
Jagger was born to Joe and Eva Jagger on July 26, 1943 in Dartford, Kent, England. He discovered early rock & roll music during his teenage years and formed the band Little Boy Blue & the Blue Boys. In his late teens, he met up with future Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, who he had initially met when both attended the Dartford Maypole County Primary School. They started the band shortly after, due to their mutual love of rock & roll and blues music.
Jagger attended the London School of Economics. During the 1960s he was romantically linked first with Chrissie Shrimpton (the sister of supermodel Jean Shrimpton) and then with singer Marianne Faithfull, for whom Jagger and Richards composed several songs including her signature tune, As Tears Go By. They remained a couple until late 1969 when Jagger and Faithfull travelled to Australia to star in the Tony Richardson film Ned Kelly (1970 movie). Soon after their arrival in Sydney, Faithfull overdosed on sleeping tablets and almost died. The relationship had ended by the time she was sent home to England to recuperate. Jagger then embarked on a series of liaisons including rumoured dalliances with Richards' girlfriend of the time, Anita Pallenberg, and singer Merry Clayton and Marsha Hunt.
Jagger's first child, Karis (by singer Marsha Hunt), was born in 1970. In May 1971 he married Bianca Perez Morena de Macias, and she gave birth to their daughter Jade while the band recorded "Sticky Fingers," one of their most popular albums to date. During this Jagger also appeared in films such as the Nicholas Roeg cult thriller "Performance (movie)" in 1970.
Following the band's acrimonious split with their second manager, Allen B. Klein, Jagger took control of the band's business affairs and has managed them ever since, in collaboration with his friend and colleague, Prince Rupert Von Lowenstein.
He has also appeared in the following movies:
- Mayor of the Sunset Strip, 2003
- The Man from Elysian Fields, 2001
- Enigma, 2001
- Mein liebster Feind (aka My Best Fiend)- with Klaus Kinski 1999
- Bent, 1997
- Freejack, 1992
- D Wings of Ash: Pilot for a Dramatization of the Life of Antonin Artaud 1978
- Umano non umano 1972
- Ned Kelly 1970
- Performance 1970
Mick Jagger was knighted on 12 December 2003, for his "services to popular music" . His fellow rolling stone Keith Richards was unimpressed. "I thought it was ludicrous to take one of those gongs from the establishment...it's not what the Stones is about, is it? I don't want to step out on stage with someone wearing a fucking coronet and sporting the old ermine. I told Mick, 'It's a fucking paltry honour.'"
