What year did Mick Jagger hit 50 years old?

Mick Jagger turned 50 years old in 1993. He was born Michael Philip Jagger on July 26, 1943, in Dartford, Kent, England, so his 50th birthday fell on July 26, 1993.

Jagger was already an international rock star by then. He became famous as the lead singer of the Rolling Stones, a band formed in London in 1962 with fellow songwriter Keith Richards and other early members. The group’s blues-influenced rock helped define the British Invasion and the wider rock era of the 1960s.

A common mix-up is confusing the year he turned 50 with the year he was born or with the Rolling Stones’ formation date. Jagger’s birthday is in late July, meaning he was 49 for most of 1993 and reached 50 on his actual birthday. The Rolling Stones continued recording and touring long after that milestone.
