    Well, he IS a musician!

    • V. Lind says:

      He nothing. This is about her, a distinctly distinguished woman.

      • Heril Steemøen says:

        I agree with you entirely. I find the name of a former partner a very strange part of a professional presentation.

        • Colin says:

          The “professional presentation” has seemingly been copied verbatim from a section of her Wikipedia entry.

          In addition, despite her admirable social and charitable work, her name is best known by most people as the former spouse of Mick Jagger.

  • Bone says:

    She seems qualified.

  • Freewheeler says:

    Divorced in ’78? ‘Bout time she ditched the surname.

    • V. Lind says:

      Why? She never remarried, and many divorced women who changed their names upon marriage do not “revert” after a divorce. She is the mother of a daughter whose name is Jagger. If she lived in Surbiton and had been married to an accountant and had a child, she would almost certainly go unquestioned as to her name.
