The energetic Jagger has kept performing well into old age, including on lucrative world toursMick Jagger once sang "what a drag it is getting old" but the most senior swinger in town shows little sign of slowing down as he turns 80 on Wednesday. The band completed its 14-date "Sixty" tour last year, although had to cancel one date when Jagger caught COVID. Beyond the Stones, Jagger teamed up with Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl in 2021 to record "Eazy Sleazy", a song about life during the pandemic.
