Mick Jagger - Rolling Stones band
Born on July 26, 1943, in Dartford, near London, Michael Philip Jagger began playing music with his friend Keith Richards in 1960. They both loved blues music, which sparked their musical journey together.
The Rolling Stones, formed in 1962 in London, started with Jagger, Richards, and Jones, who used to perform in Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated. Apart from The Rolling Stones, Jagger worked with Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl in 2021 on a song called "Eazy Sleazy," talking about life during the pandemic.
Known for hits like "Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Gimme Shelter," "Sympathy for the Devil," and "Not Fade Away," The Rolling Stones had a big impact in the 1960s.
Jagger, the lead singer, is still performing on stage in front of large crowds. Recently, the band toured Europe to celebrate their 60th anniversary.
