popular name of Sir Michael Phillip Jagger
(1943– )
Singer, born in Dartford, Kent, SE England, UK. He attended the London School of Economics, but left to form his own rock group, The Rolling Stones, together with Keith Richard, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, and Brian Jones. Following their debut in London (1962), the group released its first single, ‘Come On’ (1963). Jagger's unconvential behaviour on stage, and the group's uninhibited lifestyles, cultivated a rebellious image which appealed to a generation of teenagers during the 1960s. He wrote and sang many of their hit singles including ‘The Last Time’ (1965), ‘I Can't Get No Satisfaction’ (1965), ‘Honky Tonk Woman’ (1969), and various albums. He released two solo albums, She's the Boss (1985) and Primitive Cool (1987). Still popular after three decades, the group released the Steel Wheels album (1988), and went on tour (1989). They were still in the album charts in the 1990s with the release of Flashpoint (1991), Voodoo Lounge (1994), and Bridges to Babylon (1997), and in 2005 released A Bigger Bang with accompanying tour. In 2001 Jagger released a further solo album, Goddess in the Doorway. His film appearances include Performance (1968), Ned Kelly (1969), and Freejack (1992). He received a knighthood in 2002.
