Sir Mick Jagger is to become a great-grandfather, his family has disclosed. Sir Mick’s granddaughter Assisi, 21, is to give birth in the new year, his daughter and Assisi’s mother Jade, 42, said.

The lead singer of the Rolling Stones, who turned 70 earlier this year, has seven children and four grandchildren.

In an interview with The Sunday Times Style magazine, to be published next week, Jade confirmed that he was now set to become a great-grandfather, saying: “It is true. I am going to be a grandmother.”

However, she suggested that this latest milestone for Sir Mick, whose band has just announced a new show in 2014, was unlikely to slow down the pace of his lifestyle.

“I think making Mick a grandfather obviously had a big impact whereas, now, making him a great-grandfather is no longer particularly fascinating,” she said.

In July Sir Mick celebrated his 70th birthday party with family members and friends at the Loulou private members club in Mayfair.

The celebration followed a series of concerts played by Sir Mick along with Charlie Watts, 72, Keith Richards, 69, and Ronnie Wood, 66, to mark the band’s 50th anniversary.

A show at Hyde Park in London on July 13 was thought to have been the finale of the tour.

But last week the band announced a concert in Australia in March which would continue the “exhilarating celebration” of its five decades.

The disclosure that Sir Mick is to become a great-grandfather comes after his former wife Bianca admitted that the pair’s marriage had been “very challenging”.

In an interview with the Telegraph she warned that she would not waver from her policy not to discuss Sir Mick.

However, asked if she would ever marry again, she replied: “My marriage – it was very challenging.

“I feel very apprehensive about embarking on another serious relationship. It’s not one of my priorities.”

Mick Jagger to be great-grandfather

Bang Showbiz Sun Nov 24, 2013 2:02 PM

Sir Mick Jagger is to be a grandfather for the first time.

The Rolling Stones rocker's granddaughter Assisi, 21, and her boyfriend Alex will welcome her first child into the world early next year, her mother Jade - who the 'Brown Sugar' hitmaker had with former wife Bianca - has confirmed.

In a forthcoming interview with the Sunday Times, Jade, 42, said: ''It is true. I am going to be a grandmother.''

Assisi says her 70-year-old grandfather is thrilled by the news - though he hates being reminded of his age so much, she addresses him by his first name.

She said: ''He said, 'Well done'.

''I imagine it's nice to be a great-grandad, although I'm not sure he likes the idea of getting old or being called one.

''I call him Mick - I wouldn't call him grandpa.''

And Jade - who also calls her father Mick - doesn't think the new addition to the family will have any impact on how the rocker conducts himself.

She said: ''I think making Mick a grandfather obviously had a big impact whereas, now, making him a great-grandfather is no longer particularly fascinating.''

The 'Sympathy for the Devil' hitmaker has seven children and four grandchildren.
