A few days ago, Jagger was spotted at the Rajmata Krishna Kumari School in Jodhpur. It is thought that he is in India for the yearly Rajasthan International Folk Festival (Jodhpur RIFF) at the Mehrangarh Fort. The singer is one of the festival's international patrons.

Mick Jagger’s reunion with The Rolling Stones 

On the work front, Mick Jagger released an album with The Rolling Stones titled Hackney Diamonds. It is the band’s first studio set of new material in 18 years since 2005's A Bigger Bang. Since then, they have continued to smash box office records on a series of global sell-out tours and released 2016's Grammy-winning Blue & Lonesome, which featured their versions of many of the blues tracks that helped shape their sound, and topped album charts around the world.

The Rolling Stones have sold over 250 million albums worldwide, and is the longest-surviving band with 6 decades and counting of sticking together as a unit. They’re considered one the greatest bands along with legends like Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Pantera, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Queen, Guns N' Roses, and Led Zeppelin.
