Growing old disgracefully. Or not?

Most rock stars are renowned for their rowdy behaviour and booze-filled antics but it seems even the most hardy rockers lose their edge with age.

Take Mick Jagger for instance. He has a family connection with a certain eco-friendly restaurant in London and was invited for dinner. Now to protect the Rolling Stone from the maddening crowd of diners in the restaurant, the restaurant’s PR was ordered to sit at the table next to the Jaggers and act as a human wall.

The PR didn’t fancy doing the deed on her own and invited two of her girlfriends along with her. All well until one of the friends arrived, well, let’s say a little worse for wear, and after a few more glasses of wine proceeded to chat and laugh quite loudly.

But given the kind of parties old Mick would be used to, a bit of drunken banter wouldn’t be anything too offensive to him you would’ve thought. Think again. Half way through dinner a waitress arrived with a note from Mr Jagger. “Could you please keep the noise down,” it read.

Growing old disgracefully? Maybe not quite as much as we may have thought.
