Sir Mick Jagger, 80, hints he will be giving his $500M fortune away to charity instead of his children when he dies: 'They don't need it'.
“The children don’t need $500 million to live well, come on,” said Jagger in a recent interview. He added that giving it to charity would “maybe do some good in the world.”
“I don’t actually really like business, you know what I mean?” added Jagger. “Some people just love it. I just have to do it. Because if you don’t do it, you get fucked.”
Jagger, who turned 80 in July, still retains his portion of the band’s post-1971 music catalog. The band’s former accountant, Allen Klein, who died in 2009, secured the copyrights to the Stones’ earlier discography when they parted ways with him in 1970. Klein’s company, ABKCO Music & Records, still owns the rights to some of the Rolling Stones’ biggest hits including “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Paint It Black,” and “Ruby Tuesday,” among many others released before ’71.
After announcing their 24th studio album Hackney Diamonds, the Rolling Stones have released a preview of their new single featuring Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder. On the track, Gaga sings and Wonder plays keys and piano.
The single is the second release from the album, following “Angry,” which was dropped on Sep. 6 along with the news of their new album, which is due Oct. 20. The 16-second teaser for “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” was released on the band’s Instagram, the post also revealing that the song would be available on Sep. 28 at 5pm BST.
Now, the Stones have shared a 16-second snippet of ‘Sweet Sounds Of Heaven’ on social media along with the news that the track will be released as a single at 5pm BST this Thursday (September 28).
