Legendary Bands - Mick Jagger Posters

A blues' fan since childhood. Jagger studied business at the London School of Economics where he and Keith Richards decided to form a band together. Brian Jones, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts joined what was to become The Rolling Stones.

With a name chosen from a line in a Muddy Waters song, the band began to develop their fan base by playing in London.

After the release of the single Satisfaction, Jagger and The Stones became popular in the US. Drug charges, a 3-month imprisonment, and a trial helped create the decadent image that led to The Stones' recognition and fame.

Jagger’s solo album, She's the Boss, was released in 1985, but did not see the same success as The Rolling Stones. His second solo effort, Primitive Cool, received good reviews but was a commercial failure.

After a duet with David Bowie in a cover of "Dancing in the Street" for Live Aid, Jagger returned to his fellow Stones to release the 1986 album Dirty Work. Their 1989 album, Steel Wheels, and its tour were phenomenally successful.

They followed this up with the Voodoo Lounge tour in support of the 1997 album Bridges to Babylon. Between two successful albums and tours, Jagger also worked on his most successful solo album, Wandering Spirit.

Jagger also played a cross-dressing club bodyguard in the 1997 film adaptation of the Broadway play Bent.

Jagger’s private life is almost as famous as his career. After an eight year marriage to Bianca Perez Morena de Macias, Jagger had a thirty two year relationship with model Jerry Hall. Their marriage ended in 1999. However, he was involved with other women throughout the relationship and has children by several of them. He is also now a Grandfather.
