It’s time to get the snip, Mick
Dad-of-eight Jagger should have op, says his brother
MICK Jagger’s brother reckons this could be The Last Time the Rolling Stone becomes a dad.
He says the rocker should have a vasectomy after chalking up his eighth child – son Deveraux with girlfriend Melanie Hamrick in December.
Chris Jagger described Mick, 73, as a “great dad” in an interview with the Sunday Mirror, but when asked if his brother had plans to add to his brood he said: “No way. I don’t think so. I think he’s going to have to have the snip.
“But whatever you say about my brother he’s very good with kids. He’s a really good father. All his kids love him.”
The Satisfaction singer has eight children with five women. The eldest is Karis, 46, with actress Marsha Hunt, 71. Then there’s Jade, 45, with ex-wife Bianca, 72.
Four more of his clan – Elizabeth, 33, James, 33, Georgia, 25, and Gabriel, 20 – are from his marriage to ex-wife Jerry Hall, 60. He also has son Lucas, 18, with model Luciana Gimenez Morad, 47, who got pregnant when Mick was with Jerry.
Earlier this year, we told how Mick whisked latest love Melanie, 29, to the island of Mustique for a romantic holiday with their new tot.
And last week ballerina Melanie said: “I definitely don’t think of myself as a “baby mama”.
SWEET
“Yes, I’m not married to the father of my child. But I am in a great, wonderful relationship with him.”
Speaking ahead of his performance with his band The Rocking Cronies at Glastonbury next Sunday, Chris said: “Deveraux is very sweet. I’ve got a tiny grandson about the same age.”
Chris, 69, lives close to the festival site where his band will perform on the Avalon stage. He told how Mick came to his house for Sunday lunch the day after the Stones’ famous Glasto headline slot in 2013. “He wanted roast lamb. Everything was a bit of a blur,” he said.
Chris has written a song, Avalon Girls, especially for Glasto inspired by his brother’s one appearance at the festival. He says he was watching from the wings with “boring” celebrities who “don’t tend to dance around and shout”.
Chris said: “People are just on their phones. They don’t enjoy it any more. I just want to rock out. There was one time I had to tell someone, ‘it’s a rock and roll gig, p*** off. I’m gonna dance’.”
Unfortunately, Mick won’t be able to see his brother perform this year – but Chris said when he does come to see him he “always likes to have a jam”.
