Yesterday marked the birthday of two rock legends with Queen’s Roger Taylor turning 74 and Sir Mick Jagger crossing the big 80.
And Rolling Stones fans around the world have been celebrating the frontman’s milestone.
The singer himself celebrated at a bash in Chelsea last night at Embargo Republica, West London.
Alongside his current girlfriend Melanie Hamrick, Jagger’s ex Jerry Hall was in attendance alongside daughters Jade, Elizabeth and Georgia May, plus celebrity guests from Ronnie Wood to Leonardo DiCaprio.
The 80th birthday boy took to Instagram to thank fans for all their kind wishes towards him.
Sharing a picture of himself in a red suit with sunglasses on whilst beaming, Jagger told his fans: “Thanks so much for all your lovely comments and birthday wishes!!”
Meanwhile, Keith Richards sent his best wishes to his Rolling Stones bandmate of over 60 years.
The 79-year-old, who turns 80 himself in December, captioned his post: “Happy Birthday, Mick. Long may we keep saying this to each other, Happy 80th! Love, Keith.”
In accompanying footage, Richards was captured playing the piano before pausing and speaking to the camera.
The guitarist said: “Hey Mick, hey son. I guess long may we keep saying this to each other.
“Happy birthday Mick. You know have another good ‘un. And give me a call, let me know what it’s like!”
