July 26, 1943 in Dartford, Kent, England is a British rock musician, actor, writer, composer and producer, but is most famous for being the lead singer and co-founder (along with guitarist Brian Jones) of the British rock and roll band The Rolling Stones.
Jagger 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 in grade school. They started the Rolling Stones shortly, due to their mutual love of blues music.
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
- 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.'"
