Mick Jagger, 82, Says There’s ‘Nothing’ Good About Getting Older: ‘It’s Not Particularly Pleasant’

Mick Jagger is not a fan of aging.

While some people feel that life only gets better as you get older, the Rolling Stones frontman said that’s not necessarily the case for him.

During the 82-year-old’s appearance on the July 11 episode of the New York Times‘ The Interview podcast, Jagger was asked what he thinks is good about getting older.

“There’s nothing good about it,” the legendary musician bluntly replied. “Nothing. You don’t get wisdom. You forget everything.”

“[I] forgot all my wisdom,” he added. “I might have had a couple of pearls dropped, but I think I [have] probably forgotten what they are now, so no it’s not particularly pleasant.”

Jagger explained that as the human body ages, you “can’t do things as quickly as you want to.”

Physically, he added, “you can’t do things that you would like to do. You have to be more careful. You can still do them, but you have to be a bit more careful when you do them!”

Jagger will turn 83 on Sunday, July 26. Still, it doesn’t seem like the rocker is slowing down.

The father of eight is currently in a relationship with Melanie Hamrick, 39, with whom he shares 9-year-old son Deveraux Octavian Basil — and he also told the Times that he’d love to keep touring.

When Jagger was asked if he thinks he’ll know when he’s “walked off the stage with the Rolling Stones for the last time,” he said, “No.”

“I don’t think you’ll ever know,” the “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” singer added. “Maybe I have! I don’t know. You never know. I could get run over by a bus outside of my house. You never really know, do you? You don’t know what’s going to happen to you in life. But I personally hope to be able to tour again.”

“I love touring,” he said. “I like going places. I like meeting people. I like to go to weird countries, you know, and do shows.”
