"&#8220;He&#8217;s a smart little mother******,I&#8217;ll give him that.&#8221; &#8212;KEITH RICHARDS on MICK JAGGER &nbsp;IS he Jumpin&#8217; Jack Flash? A Street Fighting Man? A Man of Wealth and Taste? All this, it turns out, and far more. By any definition, Mick Jagger is a force of nature, a complete original&#8212;and undeniably one of the dominant cultural figures of our time. Swaggering, strutting, sometimes elusive, always spellbinding, he grabbed us by our collective throat a half-century ago and&#8212;unlike so many of his gifted peers&#8212;never let go. For decades, Mick has jealously guarded his many shocking secrets&#8212;until now. As the Rolling Stones mark their 50th anniversary, journalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author Christopher Andersen tears the mask from rock&#8217;s most complex and enigmatic icon in a no-holds-barred biography as impossible to ignore as Jagger himself. Based on interviews with friends, family members, fellow music legends, and industry insiders&#8212;as well as wives and legions of lovers&#8212;MICK sheds new light on a man whose very name defines an era and candidly reveals: &#8212;New details about Jagger&#8217;s jaw-dropping sexual exploits with more than four thousand women (including Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Uma Thurman, and France&#8217;s First Lady Carla Bruni)&#8212;as well as his encounters with several of rock&#8217;s biggest male stars. Also, the day Mick&#8217;s wife Jerry Hall and Keith Richards pleaded with Jagger to seek treatment for sex addiction. &#8212;The backstage drama surrounding Mick&#8217;s knighthood, and Jagger&#8217;s little-known ties to Britain&#8217;s Royal Family, including Prince William and Kate Middleton. &#8212;What he really thinks of today&#8217;s superstars&#8212;including Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Beyonc&#233;, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, and Justin Bieber. &#8212;Never-before-revealed, behind-the-scenes accounts of his often turbulent relationships&#8212;from his band-mates, ravenous groupies, and rabid fans to such intimates as Andy Warhol, John Lennon, Jackie Onassis, Bill Clinton, and others. &nbsp;&#8212;Cocaine, LSD, hashish, and speed&#8212;the flabbergasting truth about the extent of Jagger&#8217;s substance abuse, and how long it really went on. &#8212;A rare glimpse into Mick&#8217;s business dealings and the killer instinct that has enabled him to amass a personal fortune well in excess of $400 million. &#8212;The stormy &#8220;marriage&#8221; between Mick and Keith that nearly ran aground over Keith&#8217;s searing comments&#8212;and all the scandal, mayhem, excess, madness, and genius that went into making the Rolling Stones &#8220;the world&#8217;s greatest rock-and-roll band.&#8221; Like its subject, this book is explosive and riveting&#8212;the definitive biography of a living legend who has kept us thrilled, confounded, and astounded.
