Despite the passing years, Mick Jagger continues to captivate audiences with his energetic performances. He recently embarked on a European tour to celebrate the band's 60th anniversary, proving that age is just a number.

The Rolling Stones, with iconic songs like "Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Gimme Shelter," "Sympathy for the Devil," and "Not Fade Away," played a significant role in igniting the cultural and social explosion of the 1960s. Mick Jagger, as the charismatic frontman, pushed boundaries and embraced the freedom of the era, making the most of the sexual revolution and recreational drug use that defined the time.
