#1 bestselling biographer Christopher Andersen provides this no-holds-barred biography as shocking and uncompromising as Mick Jagger himself, timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Rolling Stones and their world tour.
&;He&;s a smart little mother******,I&;ll give him that.&; &;KEITH RICHARDS on MICK JAGGER
 IS he Jumpin&; 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&;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&;unlike so many of his gifted peers&;never let go.
For decades, Mick has jealously guarded his many shocking secrets&;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&;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&;as well as wives and legions of lovers&;MICK sheds new light on a man whose very name defines an era and candidly reveals:
&;New details about Jagger&;s jaw-dropping sexual exploits with more than four thousand women (including Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Uma Thurman, and France&;s First Lady Carla Bruni)&;as well as his encounters with several of rock&;s biggest male stars. Also, the day Mick&;s wife Jerry Hall and Keith Richards pleaded with Jagger to seek treatment for sex addiction.
&;The backstage drama surrounding Mick&;s knighthood, and Jagger&;s little-known ties to Britain&;s Royal Family, including Prince William and Kate Middleton.
&;What he really thinks of today&;s superstars&;including Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, and Justin Bieber.
&;Never-before-revealed, behind-the-scenes accounts of his often turbulent relationships&;from his band-mates, ravenous groupies, and rabid fans to such intimates as Andy Warhol, John Lennon, Jackie Onassis, Bill Clinton, and others.
 &;Cocaine, LSD, hashish, and speed&;the flabbergasting truth about the extent of Jagger&;s substance abuse, and how long it really went on.
&;A rare glimpse into Mick&;s business dealings and the killer instinct that has enabled him to amass a personal fortune well in excess of $400 million.
&;The stormy &;marriage&; between Mick and Keith that nearly ran aground over Keith&;s searing comments&;and all the scandal, mayhem, excess, madness, and genius that went into making the Rolling Stones &;the world&;s greatest rock-and-roll band.&;
Like its subject, this book is explosive and riveting&;the definitive biography of a living legend who has kept us thrilled, confounded, and astounded.
THIS IS MICK.
