Rock singer says ‘the children don’t need $500 million’ in interview that addresses Taylor Swift’s publishing controversy
The Rolling Stones catalogue may eventually be given to charity instead of being sold for a huge sum of money, Mick Jagger has suggested.
The band’s frontman, 80, discussed plans for one of the most prestigious catalogues in music history, as well as his business acumen, in a new interview.
Speaking to The Wall Street Journal about a sale of the band’s post-1971 tracks, he said: “The children don’t need $500 million to live well, come on,” before suggesting that it may go to charity, adding – “You maybe do some good in the world.”
Jagger is father to eight children, ranging in age from six to 52. He had his first child, Karis, in 1970 with actress Marsha Hunt and the following year he had his second daughter, Jade, with ex-wife Bianca Jagger.
