Sir Mick Jagger, the 80-year-old rock icon and founding member of The Rolling Stones, recently made headlines for turning down a multi-million pound deal to write his autobiography. Despite having a successful career spanning over 60 years and being a part of one of the world's most legendary bands, Sir Mick has reportedly declined the offer because he is not interested in revisiting the past.
According to an insider, Sir Mick has made a definite decision to not write a book about his life and career, despite the tempting offer of over £20 million. He is more focused on looking towards the future rather than dwelling on the past. The source also revealed that Sir Mick is not enthusiastic about spending a year and a half working with an editor on such a project.
This decision from Sir Mick, who is the father of eight children from various relationships, is not surprising as his life has already been well-documented in several biographies. In a recent interview, he admitted that life doesn't get any easier as one gets older and he has become more aware of his own mortality, being the oldest in his social circle.
The Rolling Stones released a new album, Hackney Diamonds, in 2023, proving that age is just a number for this legendary band. And Sir Mick has no plans of selling the rights to their back catalogue, as he believes his children do not need such a large sum of money.
Speaking of his children, Sir Mick has eight children ranging from six to 52 years old, from various relationships. He has also expressed interest in donating his wealth to charity in the future, saying that it could make a positive impact in the world.
