Happy Birthday Mick Jagger
Michael Phillip Jagger was born July 26, 1943 in Dartford, Kent, England. He has two parents, Basil and Eva and one younger brother, Chris. Mick met Keith Richards in 1950 in school, the boys were separated when The Jaggers moved away. The pair met again on a train in 1960 and rekindled their friendship with their shared interest in the blues and rock n roll. That day they met on the train is considered to be one of the most important days in history.
Jagger’s life might have turned out completely different had it not been for a gruesome accident as a child. During a game of chess, Jagger accidentally bit through his tongue, chomping off the tip and swallowing it. Doctors waited for Jagger to excrete the tongue in an attempt to reattach but it was unsuccessful. The missing tip however gave Jagger his unique singing style. The tip is currently on exhibit at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

Mick, Keith, Brian, Bill and Charlie formed The Rolling Stones. The Greatest Rock n Roll Band in the World.

Who’s Your Daddy!?
Jagger is said to be extremely fertile and once impregnated a woman just by bumping into her on the street. Another lady says she got pregnant just by listening to ‘Sticky Fingers’ . Researchers performed a meta-analysis of every child born between the years 1964 – 2019, and concluded that 51% of them were fathered by Mick Jagger.
Jagger still puts on a better show than most rockers half his age. So how does he keep in such good shape? Well the shows themselves help: over the course of a single Stones concert, Jagger struts, stomps, and staggers an estimated 79 miles.
