Mick Jagger has spoken openly about his experience of aging, admitting that "there's nothing good about it," as he approaches his 83rd birthday.
The Rolling Stones' new album "Foreign Tongues" was released a few days ago, and was announced with a controversial video for the single "In The Stars." In the video, the band members use rejuvenation technology to look like younger versions of themselves, and the project was created "with the help of revolutionary deepfake technology from Deep Voodoo."
The use of artificial intelligence divided their fans.
In a recent interview with the New York Times, the legendary frontman was asked, in the context of the video, what he finds good about aging - physical or metaphysical. Jagger didn't try to soften his response.
"There is nothing good in it. I have forgotten all my wisdom. There may be a few gems left, but I have already forgotten what they are."
The musician pointed out that aging is not a particularly pleasant experience and requires more caution.
"No, it's not very pleasant. You can't do things as fast as you'd like. Physically, you have to be more careful," he said.
Probably inspired by the current World Cup, Jagger compared his age to the role of goalkeeper.
"When you play football, you often get put in goal. I'm not very good at it," he joked.
Speaking about the band's longevity, the eighty-two-year-old musician recently revealed that the secret to the group's survival lies in the special bond between the members.
"We have a kind of marriage. Who is the wife and who is the husband is another matter. But maybe that is what keeps everything going," he emphasized.
