Yes, Mick Jagger became a DAD again today at the age of 73 as he and his girlfriend welcomed their son, his eighth child. 

No, Twitter, Mick Jagger is not DEAD. Although I can see how the headlines tripped you up. 

Naturally, the news of Mick’s latest creation and the deceiving headlines stirred up that uneasy feeling put into us by this year, which has clearly been sponsored by all of the worst things on this planet like broccoli, Tyler Perry movies and the city of Cleveland. The news that a famous, elderly musician is trending is certainly cause for concern and triggered a strong Twitter panic, as you’ll see below. But fear not, Mick is doing quite well. If this news is proof of anything, it’s that he’s doing quite well. 

Mick doesn’t seem all that ready to check out yet. Hell, he and the Stones just put out a new album.

All Mick Jagger breaking news tweets must start with NOT DEAD to make it instantly clear.

So, just to repeat, Mick Jagger is not dead, unless he went in the night and is yet to be discovered by the maid.
