Mick Jagger

Sir Michael Philip "Mick" Jagger (born 26 July 1943) is an English musician, singer-songwriter, actor, and producer, best known as the lead vocalist of rock band, The Rolling Stones.Here are a few things you should know about this now 67 year old rock legend.

1.  He was knighted in 2003.
2. In 2006, he was ranked by Hit Parader as the fifteenth greatest heavy metal singer of all time, despite not being associated with the genre.
3. Allmusic has described Jagger as "one of the most popular and influential frontmen in the history of rock & roll"
4. He has aged.


When I first was considering writing about Mick, I thought I would be taking the position that he had aged well. Then after googleing some images and only yielding results from what I though to be a wax museum, I changed my mind. Taking into consideration how hard the guy has been on his body for the last 50+ years, he has aged pretty darn well. That being said, he resembles a worn leather hand bag more then his former self.
The only thing I can safely say about him is that he has aged way better then most would think possible.
