LONDON: It might only be rock’n’roll but, 50 years on, Mick Jagger still likes it — and insists he will keep going as long as fans want to see the Rolling Stones headline the Glastonbury festival.
The Rolling Stones’s appearance at Glastonbury, the world’s
largest greenfield music festival, comes as the band celebrates 50 years in the music business, which involved a North American tour this year and some sell-out dates in the UK this summer.The Rolling Stones’s appearance at Glastonbury, the world’s
As the headline act on June 29, the Rolling Stones tops a day that also includes performances by Billy Bragg, Elvis Costello, Primal Scream and Noah and the Whale.
Glastonbury is known for megastars but also for variety, with 2,000 acts on 58 stages over the three days. Asked if his hyperactive stage performance tired him now that he is knocking 70, Jagger admitted, “occasionally”, but said he had no plans to quit and would go on as long as people wanted. But while still enjoying his career, Jagger said he had wondered in the past about doing something else, such as dancing, being a teacher or even a journalist.
“I don’t feel frustrated ... but obviously, you would have liked to have done, everyone wants to have done, more things in their lives,” Jagger said.
