The Rolling Stones are on tour and feeling "good," with Mick Jagger crediting exercise and good genes for his fitness. The band is likely to release new music soon and may do an international tour.
The Rolling Stones are on their "Hackney Diamonds" tour and feeling "good," with Mick Jagger saying he does two dance rehearsals a week along with a few gym workouts to stay in shape. The band released their "Hackney Diamonds" album last year, and Jagger says fans are embracing their new music as well as the classics. He also said that they're likely to release new music, even another album, soon after recording more songs than they could fit into "Hackney Diamonds."
"We've got a lot more, so I think we may be set up to make another album quite soon," he said.
While the band, which includes Keith Richards, 80, and Ronnie Wood, 77, is on a U.S. tour, Jagger says they may do an international one soon.
Jagger credits exercise and good genes for keeping him in fighting shape, saying he does two dance rehearsals a week along with a few gym workouts.
His father was a fitness instructor who lived to be 93.
The 80-year-old also said that he gets energy to dance through the Stones’ two-hour shows because he loves what he does and from the love the audience gives.
"I just enjoy it," Jagger said of performing. "Really, that's the answer. I just love doing it. You get this back and forth with the audience. You can see they're having a good time, you're having a good time, and it gives you a lot more energy."
The Stones hope that stars like Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder and Elton John, who sang on their last album, might make guest appearances on tour soon, but Jagger noted, "It’s hard to pin them down."
Jagger and girlfriend Melanie Hamrick, 37, also share a 7-year-old son. He also has seven other grown children from previous relationships.
