Mick Jagger has bluntly declared there is "nothing good" about getting older, telling the New York Times' The Interview podcast that ageing brings no compensating wisdom, only forgetfulness and physical decline. The comments from the 82-year-old Rolling Stones frontman come shortly after bandmate Keith Richards shared his own thoughts on longevity, adding to a run of candid reflections from the veteran rockers on ageing and mortality.

Jagger said he no longer moves as quickly as he'd like and must now be more careful physically, even though he can still do most things. He also touched on how decades of fame have left him somewhat "disassociated" from ordinary life and other people, suggesting his experience of ageing may be compounded by the isolating effects of long-term celebrity. The remarks come as the Rolling Stones have just released their 25th studio album, Foreign Tongues, with Jagger also hinting he may have already played his last concert with the band.
