Michael Philip "Mick" Jagger (born July 26, 1943) was an English singer-songwriter, actor, and film producer who was best known as the lead singer of The Rolling Stones, which attained legendary success during the 1960s and 1970s. Born in Dartford, Kent, England in 1943, he studied at the London School of Economics before dropping out to join The Rolling Stones. He and Keith Richards cowrote most of the band's hit songs, but, as relations with his fellow band members deteriorated during the 1980s, Jagger branched out to start a solo career in 1985 and continued to tour with his old band. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and was knighted in 2003.
Jagger's mother was an Australian immigrant hairdresser who was an active member of the Conservative Party, and Jagger shared her views. He was an enthusiastic supporter of Margaret Thatcher during her premiership in the 1980s. However, in 2019, he spoke out against Donald Trump's response to global warming, especially his rollback of several environmental protections.
