About this listen
Mick Jagger has been in the headlines this week for a mix of celebratory, reflective, and business-driven reasons. On August 3, fans and photographers spotted him in top spirits, almost skipping down the street to his 82nd birthday party, a moment that quickly went viral on Instagram thanks to Daily Mail and amassed thousands of likes and lively commentary. Social media was abuzz about the rock icon’s vitality at his age, with plenty of jokes about how he still moves better than most fans half his age.
On the business front, Jagger and The Rolling Stones are gearing up for National Vinyl Record Day on August 12 by releasing a special “Pressed and Poured” vinyl set. According to KBCO and 977 The River, this package will feature 14 Rolling Stones classics and is being hyped as a collector’s must for audiophiles and Stones devotees. Such a reissue doubles as both a business maneuver and a celebration of the band’s enduring legacy, ensuring the Stones remain relevant in both pop culture and the music industry’s retail calendar.
In media, Jagger gave an extensive and unusually candid interview to Rolling Stone magazine founder Jann Wenner. Cult Following recaps that Jagger openly credited former bandmate Mick Taylor for contributing greatly to what he called the Stones’ creative peak in the late 60s and early 70s. Jagger detailed that Taylor’s musicality and melodic guitar lines shaped the band’s sound during that era and even admitted discussions with late drummer Charlie Watts about Taylor’s impact. He also delved into the circumstances of Taylor’s 1974 departure, citing tensions with Keith Richards and Taylor’s growing interest in solo work but confessed some reasons still remain a mystery to him. Jagger’s comments sparked renewed debate among fans and the music press regarding the band's greatest era and the personalities that drove it.
On social media, there was a notable mention from The Gurus and Game Changers Podcast on August 5 referencing someone who used to manage Mick Jagger's schedule, highlighting the logistical intensity required for managing a figure of his stature and possibly hinting at an upcoming deeper dive into Jagger’s day-to-day life.
Lastly, outlets like Grunge have been circulating summaries of Jagger’s extravagant lifestyle, emphasizing his net worth, property portfolio—including estates in Sicily and Mustique—and luxury vehicle collection, a perennial fascination for his global fanbase.
No confirmed recent public disputes, health scares, or tour announcements for Jagger have surfaced this week. While there are always whispers about future Rolling Stones projects or guest appearances, nothing substantiated has been reported by major media. At this moment, the news cycle paints Jagger as both a tireless celebrant of past triumphs and a shrewd manager of the Stones’ brand.
