The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger on future tours and musical legacy

Mick Jagger, the 83-year-old frontman of The Rolling Stones, remains active in preparing for future musical endeavors. Jagger has indicated that while the band does not expect to perform concerts this year, he hopes for a return to touring next year and is currently working on a new album with the group.

To maintain the stamina required for his high-intensity performances, Jagger utilizes a fitness routine he compares to tennis, involving rapid movements and high-intensity intervals. He noted that at his age, one can no longer abuse alcohol or substances and must prioritize staying in shape through gym sessions and dance studios.

Historically, the band's musical approach has faced scrutiny from peers. The late guitarist Jeff Beck, who famously declined to join the group in 1974, once remarked that he could not have enjoyed a career playing “only three chords,” referring to the band's perceived musical simplicity. Beck used the term “three-chord wonders” to describe their style, a sentiment shared by other contemporaries like Paul McCartney and Ritchie Blackmore.
