Start me up, just like Jagger
I HAD the same heart problem as Mick Jagger has been diagnosed with. Two years ago, I had a new valve fitted. I was in hospital for just five days and four weeks later flew to a wedding in the U.S.
I can assure Sir Mick — who is recovering after having his procedure in New York last week — that I can’t believe how well I feel after being given just 18 months to live if I didn’t have the heart operation. PETER B. GRIFFITH,
Wallasey, Wirral. WHAT a terrific, hit-the-nailon-the-head article by Sarah Vine (Mail) about the legend that is Sir Mick Jagger. She’s right about us live- for- themoment baby boomers grabbing adventures and fun. You only live once and must make the most of every minute: Mick’s the epitome of this mindset.
I did marry a rock star, John Coghlan, founder member and original drummer of Status Quo, and took him home to my mother in 1976. We have been together for 42 years.
GILLIE COGHLAN, Oxford. SARAH VINE described Sir Mick Jagger as ‘immune to the humiliations of age’. She should have gone to Specsavers!
