FIFTY YEARS of SCANDAL, MONEY, DRAMA, MUSIC, FAME, DRUGS, GENIUS, SEX ... "MICK" THE WILD LIFE AND MAD GENIUS OF JAGGER BY CHRISTOPHER ANDERSEN

The band debuted as The Rollin' Stones on July 12, 1962.
"It's quite amazing when you think about it," Jagger told Rolling Stone late last year. 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 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.
