Mick Jagger earned his right for a basic state pension of a little less then $180 weekly. But getting his house’s roof leak - fixed for free will take five years more.
The time has come at last! Hard times are over, and from Saturday on our beloved Mick Jagger will be comfortable with basic state pension, a little less then $180 weekly. But to get his house decrepit roof fixed for free he will have to wait. Not very long – just five years more, for that privilege every citizen of the United Kingdom has to wait until he gets 70 years old.
The frontman of the British rock and roll band the Rolling stones done his 65 years. He is old – age pensioner now though he still jumps as his Jack Flash.
Jagger's age – denying live shows continue to turn the clock back and now newborn pensioner impresses his movie funs in the Martin Scorsese documentary picture "Shine a Light" with dynamic strutting along the stage and pouting his famous lips.
Unlike his fellow Stone Ronni Wood, who now is taking his time in rehabilitation center after exhausting way of alcohol consumption, Jagger’s off-stage antics are not as sharp. Yet he is not going to rest in his days of deserved leisure and become the decent gardener.
Jagger is absorbedly engaged in film production, working as executive producer of "Shine a Light” movie, and then providing two more feature films. From time to time the rumors of coming world tour and new Rolling Stones album appear in the headlines.
Nobody knows if Jagger with his pension added really costs now 225 million pound ($450 million), and will it do to guarantee him modest being for the rest of his life, but one world tour more surely will help to manage ends meet.
As says The Rolling Stones tour producer Michael Cohl, their last world tour “A Bigger Bang" was the most successful of all previous and from 2005 to 2007 gathered more then $558.
MIDDLE-CLASS ROOTS
Mick Jagger, or Michael Philip Jagger was born on July 26, 1943 in Dartford, city in the south of England. Mick’s parents are a hairdresser a schoolteacher.
In the beginning of 1960s, Mick and guitarist Keith Richards started the Rolling Stones, and its lead singer Jagger started his way to become one of the most famous rock and roll band frontmen, creating a bunch of classic hits starting with "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" through "Jumpin" Jack Flash" to "Ruby Tuesday" ,"Angie", and nostalgic “Party Doll".
The overall sales amount of the band’s albums is estimated more than 200 million worldwide. Jagger and the Rolling Stones are regularly mentioned as the most influential phenomena in the history of pop music.
Being romantic person Jagger has had a lot of love affairs with famous girls, including affair d’amour with singer and actress Marianne Faithful, who tried three of the band and found Mick the best of the Stones, and Carla Bruni, present wife of French president Nicolas Sarcozy.
Mick has been married, twice. His first wife was the Nicaraguan beauty Bianca Perez Macias, and from 1990 up to 1999 he was husband of Jerry Hall, fashion model from Texas. He is father of seven, and has grandchildren.
Since 2003 rock and roll Don Juan is the knight, but denies that he belongs to British establishment against which he fought all his artistic life.
Close to the admission time he said: “I don't really think the establishment as we know it exists any more”.
Now in his age of retire Jagger is once again to face the questions about his band and his own future, but he should be accustomed to it.
About half of a century ago Mick Jagger was asked how long he is going to keep running with the Rolling Stones band, and in one of the interviews, his questioner wondered: "Can you picture yourself at the age of 60 doing what you're doing now?"
"Yeah, easily. Yeh," replied Mick Jagger.
