Mick, who is currently on the road with the band’s ’A Bigger Bang’ world tour, also needs prompts with the abs-lib section of the show, and assistance to remember what country he is playing in. The source added: "He likes to address the crowds in their language so there’s a standard patter at points in the show. "When they played Twickenham the scripts even said ’Good evening London’."
Mick Jagger has an oxygen tank backstage - Aug 25, 2020
Sir Mick Jagger has an oxygen tank backstage to help him get through his gruelling live shows. At 63, the Rolling Stones frontman struggles to keep his energy levels up for an entire two-hour performance, so when guitarist Keith Richards plays his two solo songs Mick pops backstage and straps on an oxygen mask.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "It helps him get his breath back quicker, keeps the airways clear and gives him what he needs to get back out and step it up a gear for the second half of the show." A spokesman for the Stones confirmed that Jagger has been using an oxygen tank on the band’s ’A Bigger Bang’ world tour. He said: "Lots of singers have an oxygen tank by the stage. It’s fairly common."
Jagger also reportedly uses the natural high to help him stay up for all-night parties.
A source said: "Ronnie Wood threw a party last Sunday after their Twickenham show. And Mick had a few lungfuls of oxygen before that too, just to help him make the most of the party and stop him from dozing off."
Jagger isn’t the only star to use an oxygen tank. Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Rose inhales pure oxygen before live shows, while Michael Jackson has been reported to sleep in an oxygen tank in a bid to try and stay looking young.
Mick Jagger is getting married - Aug 23, 2020
Sir Mick Jagger is reportedly planning to tie the knot with his model girlfriend L’Wren Scott. The Rolling Stones singer is rumoured to have proposed to his girlfriend, who has been dating for around four years, and L’Wren was recently pictured in London wearing a large rock on her ring finger.
A source told the Daily Express newspaper: "L’Wren was wearing a sparkling diamond ring on her engagement finger on a shopping trip to London. She seemed keen for people to notice it. She thrust her hand out in front of her so it was impossible to miss." The 39-year-old former model was spotted flashing the ring while shopping with ’Moulin Rouge’ star Nicole Kidman who recently got hitched to country singer Keith Urban.
The two towering beauties looked at clothes for about an hour in a designer boutique that had opened after hours especially for them. The source said: "L’Wren looked really happy and was giggling with Nicole. She is obviously delighted to be the next Mrs Jagger."
Jagger’s second wife, Jerry Hall, who was with the rocker for 23 years and has four children by him, may not be so pleased. When questioned five months ago about rumours that Mick and L’Wren may be engaged, she said: "He’s not the marrying kind."

With hits including Paint It Black, (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, Jumpin Jack Flash and It’s Only Rock and Roll the Stones are arguably the greatest band on earth with more than four decades of hits somewhere between their snake hips and the things holding their trousers up.
Mick’s private life is probably as legendary, if not as successful, as his music career. From his well recorded dalliances with Marianne Faithfull and Sophie Dahl to marriages to Bianca Moreno de Macias and Jerry Hall plus rumours of flings with the likes of Uma Thurman, Carly Simon and even David Bowie and the surely almost record breaking seven children by four different women (including model Elizabeth and designer Jade) the rocker’s sex appeal is obviously quite something....it must be those famous lips.
