This is a biography of the life and loves of Rolling Stone front-man Mick Jagger, whose desire to do things his way, both in his personal life and as lead singer of the rock super group, have consistently made him headline news for the past 30 years.
The book includes coverage of: the Jagger mythology, revealing the rock superstar who had no burning desire for the music but just wanted to be rich, and how he used rock as a means to that end; new material on the women - the glamour and the suicide attempts - the drugs and the run-ins with the law, on the Stones' internal rivalries and power struggles; and first-hand interviews with those who know him, including B.B. King, Noel Redding, Sir William Rees-Mogg, Malcolm McLaren, Robert Stigwood, Michael Lindsay-Hogg, Gary Glitter, Allen Ginsberg, Amanda Lear, Eileen Atkins, Werner Herzog, Ginger Baker and Ray Davies.
Laura Jackson is the author of "Golden Stone: The Untold Life and Mysterious Death of Brian Jones", "Queen & I: The Brian May Story" and "Mercury: The King of Queen".
