Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood, July 08, 2026, in London.

The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has acknowledged that life in a successful rock and roll band is "obviously not normal", and admitted that "psychologically your actual state of mind is permanently damaged".

In a new interview with the New York Times, Jagger suggests that the adulation that comes with being part of a superstar band can alter one personality.
