Despite its venerable age, Mick still manages to light better than most of his younger colleagues, although in recent years trying to stick to a healthier lifestyle than ever before. It's amazing how much energy and drive emits the skinny Brit on stage and off - somehow he manages to give concerts to raise grandchildren attend the fashion event with her daughter-model of Georgia, as well as act as a composer, songwriter and producer of documentary films .





A few days before the anniversary Jagger and the Rolling Stones once again surprised everyone by releasing an unscheduled album on iTunes. Their energy is truly inexhaustible!

3. One of the best songs of the Rolling Stones «Sympathy For The Devil» was created under the influence of Russian literature - Jagger admitted that in writing it presented himself Woland of "The Master and Margarita" by Bulgakov.
