Mick Jagger Now Collecting Old Age Pension ...

[Kramer]

Starting on Saturday,sir Mick will be entitled to a basic state pension of just under $180 a week

Should Jagger's estimated 225 million pound ($450 million) fortune, plus pension, prove insufficient, another tour would be a sure way of helping make ends meet.

The Rolling Stones' "A Bigger Bang" tour became the most successful of all time, grossing more than $558 million from 2005 to 2007
The band is estimated to have sold more than 200 million albums worldwide and regularly ranks at or near the top of lists of the most influential acts in pop music history

HE ONCE said: "I'd rather be dead than singing Satisfaction when I'm 45."

But saturday, Sir Mick Jagger reaches 65, and the Rolling Stones – with a combined age of 257 – are said to be planning another tour.


And, as band-mate Ronnie Wood tries to cope with alcohol addiction and the possible break-up of his marriage, Jagger, who has seven children, is enjoying a period of stability in his private life with L'Wren Scott, who is more than 20 years his junior.

Although he may rue his "I'd rather be dead" comment, Jagger continues to belt out (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction at every Stones' concert, as shown in Martin Scorsese's recent film Shine a Light.

Jagger has been fielding questions about his age ever since he hit 40 and has learned the art of growing old gracefully.

On the subject of age, he has said: "People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969.

"They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you… It's very selfish, but it's understandable."

When he turned 60 five years ago, he said: "I think every birthday you get to, you sort of can't believe.

"When you're 21, you can't believe you're 21; when you're 30, you can't believe you're 30.

"You start getting a bit better at this as you go on because you've already done 40 – that was big, difficult, incredulous.

So you just have to accept it
Despite reaching retirement age Sir Mick has no intention of stopping performing.

He recently said: "I'm sure it will happen one day. It hasn't happened for the moment. We don't look at the clouds of tomorrow through the sunshine of today."

Jagger has a 28in waist, runs eight miles a day, and kickboxes and works out to stay in shape for tours.

During each show he struts and runs about 12 miles around the stage. His personal trainer, Norwegian Torje Eike, has trained Olympic athletes, national soccer teams and Geri Halliwell.
