How is Mick Jagger in such good shape?

Genetics.

Money, doctors and drugs

Speed

Had sympathy for the Devil. Was given a deal.

I don't think it's speed. He's always been judicious about his drug intake and never fell victim to the clammy grips of addiction.

“Blood packing”. Look it up

Some medical miracle us poor people ain’t privy to. Plus, he probably has the best healthy food, doesn’t smoke, as far as we know, doesn’t do drugs or drink in excess

He is fucked. He bops around a couple of times a month in front of the paps. Rest of the time he is full of drugs resting in bed in an oxygen tent.

Keith Richards is also somehow still alive, and god knows, he has no reason to be.

He bathes in the vaginas of young virgins.

Many have access to money, doctors, and drugs. But they can’t do what he does. I have to assume he lucked out genetically. Performers much younger than Mick (Madonna, Janet, etc.) can’t match his on-stage energy. And performers who are close in age, such as Cher, put on a spectacle... but they are moved around, hoisted, hydraulically and by young dancers. He seems unique.

Keith Richards is still waaay more impressive because he still smokes.

They look every day their age

He sucks milk from the teet of Olivia de Havilland.

Jagger's father was a famous basketball guru in Britain and made him work out daily from a young age. Guessing those habits served him well. Plus he never seemed like a complete druggie hedonist. A touch of this, a taste of that, but I think Mick's true love is money.

Let's hope Sir Mick retires soon, it would be more dignified that way.

I believe that R10 has it - well done, R10.

Bathing in virgins' vaginas it is, for Mick.

Not sure about Keef.

A friend met him at a book party in NYC years ago. She said he was very charming, but was wearing a godawful purple velvet suit, had a cold, and facial etches that you could fall into by parachute.

He's gross. Jerry Hall went from gross to grosser. Wendi got out ahead.

Jerry Hall has the mental acuity of a beach ball.

Who the hell is Wendi?

He pretended to have a massive heart attack last year and instead had a rejuvenating procedure at the hospital.

His father was a physical education teacher, so Mick has worked out his entire life. He has a nutritionist, personal trainer, massage therapist, chef, and personal assistants to handle everything for him and keep him toeing the line. He's got incredible discipline and stamina, and he recovered in record time from the heart valve replacement. At this stage, drugs are way in the rear view mirror and he still loves to perform.

Keith states he has only done top quality drugs, never cheap dirty street drugs. And he is rumored to have gone to Switzerland more than once for expensive blood-cleaning procedures.

Mick, on the other hand... who knows. Maybe getting bones up the ass keeps him youthful.

I did Bus Stop in the West End and I was BRILLYANT!

boned

Joe Jagger's obituary

He's always been an astute businessman. As such, he assumed an image that would do him best. So everybody looks at him based on the image he projects, not on who he actually is.

I would, several times. I'm so jealous of R26.

Mick Jagger works out on a regular basis to keep in shape and never lets himself get flabby, even does ballet, so that he can still bounce all over the stage. Good for him!

Sound like Hitler.

Wendi = Wendi Deng, one of Rupert Murdoch's ex-wives. He is currently married to Jerry Hall, FWIW.

She should have stuck with Bryan Ferry.

He's not a hottie like Bill Wyman though!

I heard Ferry is a jealous guy.

Wendi looks rather good.

What on earth does Wendi have to do with Mick?? Sheesh. Stick to the topic at hand, which is Mick Jagger.

Wendi and Mick are related.

Jerry Hall married Wendi Deng's ex-husband, Rupert Murdoch.

A lot of rockers and hip hop artists are low key health nuts and are really into exercise and clean eating but project a different image

Those four are so gross, cept Wendi who is cute.

It is pretty damn impressive to keep a 26-27 inch waist your entire life.

He has a high degree of discipline - that's not 100% natural. Particularly when you've been exposed to all the excesses that life has to offer.

Soon to be Dame Wendi, if I understand the signs correctly.

Really, R43? I had no idea, but then I have no idea so that would figure. That's kind of disappointing given that she's awful. I suppose she's donating and do-gooding like mad with the royals. Never mind.

Wendi saved Rupert from the pie.

“”Blood packing”. Look it up”

So you CAN get blood from a Stone.

R Square, R45?

Maybe Keith has similar genes as Ozzy Osbourne:

I don't really give a shit. Why does anyone?

I don't think he has ever gained a once in his life and he has been dancing all his life. What I don't understand is how he still has his knees and hips. He would never be able to do that much stomping around if he had had a hip replacement.

They weren’t that great last night in my opinion

^^^ ounce.

A l'origine, as they say in France, Wendi is a Chinese peasant, Her birth name was Deng Wenge (邓文革; 鄧文革; Dèng Wéngé) meaning "Cultural Revolution". Cultural Revolution Murdoch.

[quote] How is Mick Jagger in such good shape?

He's not in good shape. He is a thin old person.

Good shape? He has the body frame of a 8 year old boy.

[quote] He has the body frame of a 8 year old boy.

PEDO GUY

To actually think he rehearses those moves.

Good shape? He and the rest of that band have looked like ghouls for the past 25 years. He's lucky he hasn't busted a hip or two.

I don't think he was ever a drug addict or alcoholic. And he has a naturally thin, wiry build, was never prone to being overweight. Of course his face looks awful; wrinkled, aged. But for a man his age, his body must be in pretty good shape if he can still perform. He can still DANCE. That's pretty amazing.

Huh? I thought he was a drug addict/alcoholic for a while?!

Oh, leave it alone. Let the old people have their bands in peace.

Just you wait, kids, it'll be the Taylor Swift and Justin Beiber Geriatric in America Tour in no time.

I prefer Rupert.

I'm sure Mick Jagger drank alcohol and did drugs, but I never heard he became an addict. He always seemed too smart to abuse himself like other rocks stars did.

If he just had heart surgery, he not in THAT good shape.

As some have already posted. He exercises a lot, has avoided booze & drugs (though more than likely dabbled with those a little in the 60s/70s), never smoked, eats a healthy balanced diet and genetics. I don't know about his mother but his father lived to be in his 90s.

Using and discarding Marianne Faithful was his magic elixir.

Saw The Stones back in July. One of their first gigs after Jagger's heart surgery. They were brilliant and you'd have never guessed that Jagger had major heart surgery just a couple of months ago.

Still haven't had a stronger answer than R10.

Vaginas are the key.

[quote] Keith states he has only done top quality drugs, never cheap dirty street drugs. And he is rumored to have gone to Switzerland more than once for expensive blood-cleaning procedures.

What are these procedures? Tell us more.

Why is Trump still kicking? It has to be genetics. They have the worst lifestyles.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Hmmmm....shocking lack of knowledge about the history of Mick and Keith and their infamous 1967 drug bust.

I think Keith stopped smoking recently.

I also saw them after Mick's heart surgery and they totally rocked! Mick was brilliant and moving around great. Keith didn't look so good, he barely moved. Ronnie was great too. All 4 of them are naturally thin. Ronnie is also very slim and his hair is just ridiculous, I wonder if it's a wig...

Mick has always looked after himself and has great genes - both parents lived to be in their 90s. It’s not rocket science.

He always moves, and genes. My late father who was a binge drinker (meaning he wouldn’t drinks for months, then spend a month drinking) was like Mick.

He had a physical job. He was a mechanic and worked until he turned 65. He also walked an hour per day either before of after work, and surprisingly enough, had a very healthy diet for a binge drinker. At 40 he became almost vegan, with the exception of fish. He never smoked, rarely became ill with a cold or anything else, & the only medications he took were statins.

Once he retired he started drinking more often, however, he remained thin his entire life, and though he drank, his skin remained obscenely firm, displaying barely any wrinkles, and he still moved like he was a 30 year old man.

His father, who didn’t drink or smoke ever, and also moved physically on a daily basis, lived until 96 or 98. Can’t remember which.

You have to move around your entire life to end up like Mick. That’s the trick. Physically moving around, not smoking, and having a healthy diet protects your heart, your joints, and your skeletal structure & will protect you from obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and a bunch of other things. The rest, like firm skin that remains smooth, or keeping all of your teeth, is genetics and consistent self care.

I’ve been to 3 Rolling Stones concerts, all at different decades, and Mick’s agility as he ages always reminded me of my dad.

Our problem here in America, is that most of our country isn’t “walkable”. Everyone drives everywhere, even to the grocery store. Where I live now, our grocery store is a mile or so away from my home, however, we haven’t any sidewalks. Back in LA, I walked to my grocery store every day. Rather than filling my fridge up with tons of food, I would buy 1 week’s worth of groceries, yet I would walk to pick up stuff for dinner, like fish or brown rice. On weekends, I walked everywhere I could, and even if I drove to a weekend Farmers’ Market, I parked a good distance away, and walked to my destination.

Obese people fill up their carts at the supermarket with TONS of non perishables with high sugar and sodium content, pork products, and red meat. Where I live now, many obese people grocery shop in these little electronic carts they sit in. They hit obesity ranges in their teens or twenties. The women let everything go once they start having kids.

It’s all about lifestyle and food. Mick will probably live until his late 90s or early 100s.

"What are these procedures? Tell us more."

The old story was that Keith Richards would get "clean" and drug free by going to a clinic and getting all the blood in his body replaced. Supposedly it's just an urban legend, but I tend to believe it. It seems a drastic thing to do, but I think he must have thought it was easier than going to AA or NA meetings.

Or Keith is just an outlier. Some people smoke from childhood to age 90-something with no related ill health.

Jagger quarantined at 16th-century French castle:

It must be Satan. I'm jealous. I'm going to buy some black candles and a satanic bible from Amazon, toot sweet.

Keith Richards' autobiography is an entertaining read, and gives some good insights into who The Rolling Stones were. We tend to mythologize performers, and we see the Stones as some kind of street hoods that came together and formed a band. Mick and Keith were middle class kids who wanted to form a band. Charlie Watts was a well-respected jazz drummer who they had to entice to join them. Even Keith is not the junkie we all want him to be. He's been clean (other than pot) since around 1990.

[Quote] Even Keith is not the junkie we all want him to be. He's been clean (other than pot) since around 1990.

And Elaine Stritch never touched a drop since the 1980s.

I think Mick stopped smoking many years ago. He never became addicted to heroin like Keith, Brain Jones and Mick Taylor.

I guess all those young women he continues to have sex with sure doesn't hurt. Didn't he become a father, yet again, recently?!!

One of my elderly neighbors lived to 102! He'd always joke, "I stopped smoking 60 years ago!" But it wasn't a joke, he stopped smoking that long ago. He ate healthy foods, didn't drink liquor, he sure didn't do recreational drugs and even up to his last few months, he took a walk every day. He had hobbies which kept him active. He outlived his wife, it's usually the other way around, most women outlive their husbands.

Mick smoked for 15 years. He stopped in 1975.

I wonder about the voice--don't singers always more or less lose it in old age? Was there some kind of technology involved in that Zoom thing? It was live and he's ancient, yet he sounded more or less like the original vinyl.

Mick's voice actually sounds better now than at certain times in the past. Some time since 2000, he started working with a vocal coach for the first time, and would have learned how to preserve his voice. Also he stopped smoking as mentioned above, and does not allow people, ie Kaith, to smoke around him.

[Quote] I wonder about the voice--don't singers always more or less lose it in old age?

Many do but not always. Barbara Cook and Marilyn Maye come to mind.
