Happy Birthday, Mick Jagger! The Rock Legend Who Ditched Accounting for Rock ‘n’ Roll Fame
Can you believe it? Mick Jagger is now 82 years old, and he’s still performing with more energy than many young singers today!
He is the lead singer of the world-famous rock band The Rolling Stones. His full name is Michael Phillip Jagger. Before becoming a rock star, Mick studied accounting for a short time. But he didn’t stay with numbers for a long time.
He left his studies to pursue his dream in the music field. It was the best decision of his life! He didn’t want to work in an office with files and papers. He followed his dream of singing. Now, he sings in big stadiums in front of thousands of people around the world.
Even at 82, Mick still sings, dances, and rocks the stage like a true legend. Hats off to him!
Let’s celebrate by sharing your top 3 Rolling Stones tracks in the comments.
Before becoming the swagger-filled rock god we know, young Mick was on a very different path—studying accounting and finance at the London School of Economics. Thankfully, he dropped the calculator and picked up the mic, helping shape rock history.
Fun Fact: The Rolling Stones have sold over 240 million records worldwide, proving Mick’s “career gamble” paid off.
