Ferry's Club has no link and it wasn't called Ferry's Club
[edit]In the section entitled The Rolling Stones: 1960s, the aforementioned club was the Ealing Jazz Club run by Fery Asgari ie Ferry's Club. The article on the Ealing Jazz Club has these referenced statements:
The club is noteworthy as the place where, on 24 March 1962, Charlie Watts first met Brian Jones then, on 7 April 1962 Alexis Korner introduced Mick Jagger and Keith Richards to Brian Jones, and the nucleus of the Rolling Stones first came together.[1]
And it was where, nearly a year later, the classic line-up of the Rolling Stones, with Charlie Watts on drums played for the first time in public on Saturday, 12 January 1963.[2] However, it was not until an Ealing gig on 2 February 1963 that Watts became the Stones' permanent drummer. [3]
Eric Clapton has recalled that occasionally he stood in for Mick Jagger at the club when the novice Rolling Stones singer had a sore throat.[4]

The story from the Ealing Jazz Club articles presents an entirely different story to the one here in the bio of Mick Jagger. First Ferry's Club is a nickname, it was actually officially the Ealing Jazz Club. Second did Jagger, Jones and Richards really play here for free or only meet here? According to the Ealing Jazz Club this began as a meeting place until the band played there with Charile Watts in 1963. As the claim they played here for free is not referenced in this article, that statement is contradicted by the referenced material (above) from the Ealing Jazz Club article. So which is it?146.199.57.139 (talk) 08:18, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

[edit]This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Edit "He is the frontman and one of the founder members of...", to read: "He is the frontman and one of the founding members of...".
The word in question is "founder" 2603:900A:1908:51DC:90:E7F7:22C7:6FE2 (talk) 22:39, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
Not done: "founder member" is correct in British English. See wikt:founder member. Tollens (talk) 23:15, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
Comment
[edit]You state he was with Jerry Hall from 1977 and also down the page you list him as married to a different person at the very same time. Please fix this issue — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C5:C3C7:7400:C04F:FE41:F62D:1FF1 (talk) 09:37, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- What about it is incorrect? Jagger is a serial adulterer and has had many affairs.★Trekker (talk) 16:33, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- @StarTrekker also they were first seen at the Railway Hotel, Richmond. I was there and they good although there was also a piano on stage played by a fellow in rugger shorts. 155.12.115.254 (talk) 05:52, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
Rae Dawn Chong?
[edit]In 1977 when he was 33 he had a sexual relationship with a 15 year old Rae Dawn Chong. This sort of thing is mentioned in other celebrity profiles... 2001:8003:7840:9400:7584:C246:75B4:7EDC (talk) 18:03, 8 June 2025 (UTC)
- Based on Chong's comments she doesn't want people to make a deal out of it, it might violate WP:BLP to include it, and we have no evidence that the claim is true, so I don't see any reason to mention it.★Trekker (talk) 20:54, 8 June 2025 (UTC)
Marital Status
[edit]Most news sources describe Mel Hamrick as his fiancée. To keep the article fresh shouldn't Micks marital status be updated accordingly? Augustusgluo (talk) 12:32, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Folk singer Ramblin’ Jack Elliott was busking throughout Europe where he performed for a group of kids, including Mick Jagger. Mick then went out and bought his first guitar. ~2025-42793-45 (talk) 13:31, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
Proposing a section that addresses Mick Jagger's Neo-Nazism
[edit]It is unconscionable of Wikipedia to omit a section specifically addressing Mick Jagger's longstanding associations and close friendships with unrepentant Nazis, e.g., Leni Riefenstahl. ~2026-18249-6 (talk) 13:57, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
Wyman alleged that Jagger tried several times to throw him out of the band
[edit]In February 1986, Wyman alleged to author Bill German that Jagger tried several times to throw him out of the band. But German chose not to report this in his Beggars Banquet newsletter at that time given the poor state of relations within the band.
