Mick Jagger: Rebel Knight

Mick Jagger: Rebel Knight

World-famous as a rock icon, Sir Mick Jagger has remained a stubbornly enigmatic man.

Lead singer and co-founder of the Rolling Stone, Jagger is one of the most popular and influential frontmen of Rock and Roll.

In the early days of the Rolling Stones the band played for free in a basement club opposite Ealing Broadway Station.

Now the Rolling Stones are in the UK Music Hall of Fame

In this incisive and compelling biography, Christopher Sandford explores Jaggerâ€™s contradictory persona.

From the wild abandon of his stage performances to the cool and calculating self-management of his life and career.

Mick Jagger: Rebel Knight is based on exclusive interviews with Jaggerâ€™s parents, friends and musical partners, as well as his FBI file to which the author has had unprecedented access.

The Stonesâ€™ long-time pianist, the late Ian Stewart, gives fresh insight into the history and internal battles of the legendary band.

Here too are definitive accounts of Jaggerâ€™s many affairs (including Brigitte Bardot and Tina Turner) and his long-term relationships with Marianne Faithfull, Bianca Perez Morena De Macias and Jerry Hall.

Sandford also includes The Stonesâ€™ 2002 US tour, Jaggerâ€™s relationships with Venezuelan heiress Vanessa Neumann and model Sophie Dahl, and his controversial knighthood.
