Mick Jagger Turns 83, Decries Aging and Scores Global #1 with New Album
Mick Jagger celebrated his 83rd birthday on 26 July 2026. In a New York Times podcast interview he said there is "nothing good" about getting older, noting that age makes him forget the wisdom he once had, that he can no longer move as quickly and must be more careful physically. To stay grounded he walks alone on the street. He also discussed the Rolling Stones’ use of artificial‑intelligence to create youthful avatars for a new video.
The band’s new album Foreign Tongues – their 25th studio release – debuted at number 1 on the global charts, outselling releases by Drake, Olivia Rodrigo and others and moving about 173 000 copies in its first week. Despite his age, Jagger continues to deliver two‑hour stage shows, reportedly covering roughly 19 km per concert, and follows a rigorous training regime with personal trainer Torje Eike that includes running, swimming and interval work. He indicated he hopes to keep performing live next year.
