Sir Mick Jagger: There's nothing good about getting old
Mick Jagger, the 82‑year‑old Rolling Stones frontman, said there is nothing good about getting older, noting a loss of wisdom and physical ability. He described feeling disassociated from ordinary life due to his fame but tries to stay grounded by doing everyday activities. Jagger emphasized that his role in concerts is to provide escapism rather than political commentary.
- ▪Jagger told The New York Times’ podcast that aging brings no wisdom and that he has forgotten much of what he once knew.
- ▪He said his physical capabilities have declined, making it harder to act quickly or perform certain tasks.
- ▪He feels disassociated from ‘real life’ because his celebrity status isolates him from most people.
- ▪To stay grounded, he walks the streets and engages in normal, everyday activities, though he admits this offers only temporary relief.
