Wild horses couldn’t drag Mick Jagger away from a chance to sing. And if you start him up, he’ll never stop.
Jagger performed “Handsome Molly,” a song he once covered on “Wandering Spirit,“ his 1993 solo album, The Times of London reported.

Jagger visited the pub with his partner, Melanie Hamrick, as guests of Oriel College, the BBC reported. They joined students at Evensong at the college’s chapel and then had a meal at the college’s high table, according to the college.
“After dinner and drinks in the SCR (Senior Common Room) a small group went off to the pub where Mick gave an impromptu performance with Rolling Stones keyboard player Matt Clifford and Oriel Politics academic Robert Cheah,” the college tweeted.
Jagger last performed with the Rolling Stones in 2024 as part of the group’s Hackney Diamonds Tour.
The band’s new album, “Foreign Tongues,” their 25th, will be released on July 10.
