As part of that blitz, Jagger offered GQ his guide to longevity \u2014 or at least it was billed that way. Actually, the interview was wide-ranging, and Jagger’s advice about how to stay healthy for all eternity is pretty standard. He works out. He treats tour rehearsals as high intensity training sessions, replicating all the walking, dancing, and singing he’ll be doing onstage every night. He gave up excessive drug and alcohol use at 40: “I mean, you can still do it! But you can\u2019t do it crazy all the time like you used to be able to.” He is not into ice baths or saunas, but the “no extreme temperatures” thing seems to be a matter of personal preference.<\/p>\n
Before all the health and fitness talk, interviewer Ben Allen asked Jagger which current musicians he’s inspired by, which led to this response:<\/p>\n
I did a track with Burna Boy<\/a>. That was hilarious. \u2018Cause I\u2019m a real afrobeats person. And I\u2019ve always liked Burna Boy. David Bowie was a great example of someone who only wanted to listen to what was going on now. But it\u2019s such a lot of work to do that. It\u2019s so much work. Loads of it is rubbish. So, I don\u2019t ignore what\u2019s going on, but I\u2019m not a slave to what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n Allen then asked if Jagger’s heard Geese, and it turns out he has:<\/p>\n Geese, everyone\u2019s talking about them. They\u2019re very experimental, Geese, really. I mean, for a rock band. I quite like it. I heard all the talk about it, and as soon as the record, [Getting Killed<\/a>], came out, I was expecting it to be more indie. I wasn\u2019t expecting it to be quite that out there, but I admire that.<\/p>\n I want Jagger to elaborate on what he means by that. It’s intriguing that “indie” and “out there” are opposing forces to Jagger. He should read my book about how indie rock went pop<\/a>! Mick, let’s do a We’ve Got A File On You<\/a> and we can hash out What Indie Means Today. Maybe spend a few minutes making sense of the Chaotic Good ordeal<\/a>? Also, does he know the first song on Cameron Winter’s solo album is called “The Rolling Stones<\/a>“? Anyway, Jagger also big-upped Rosal\u00eda:<\/p>\n I mean, there’s also a lot of good women singers who have done great recently. Look at Rosalia\u2019s album [Lux<\/a>]. That was something really conceptual, really interesting. And she really pulled it off, and I really admire her for doing it.<\/p>\n Genuinely, congrats to Geese and Rosal\u00eda on obtaining Mick Jagger’s admiration. <\/p>\n The Rolling Stones – Foreign Tongues [Baby Pink 2xLP]<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/71pCe1ctEL._SL1500_.jpg\")
