[@nikosgr9290]

His voice is still there as strong as 30 yrs ago. Wow!

[@tikibeach]

Why is this guy not knighted? He singing is poetry. Power, presence, never lost it. A true legendary artiste. Great musicians. His commitment every time on stage, never wanes. They don’t come any better. Great catalogue and new stuff. May it keep on giving.

[@jonathanp896]

He was formerly a high profile and outspoken supporter of the Labour party(though not in the post-Blair era), and had ambitions to be a politically active member of the House of Lords. Meanwhile Britain has had an increasingly partisan Conservative government for the past 13 years. I doubt he is top of their list ;)

It's incredible how Mick continues to have vocal range after all these years, it feels like he's still listening to the CD when it was recorded, and the band continues with the same instrumental quality as in the studios, long life, simply red 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
