Mick Jagger is reportedly taking a hard look at his life after a series of deeply unsettling events involving those closest to him.
The 82-year-old Rolling Stones frontman is said to be reconsidering his famously relentless touring schedule following a frightening incident in London involving his longtime partner, Melanie Hamrick. According to reports, the 38-year-old former ballerina was allegedly mugged during a night out in Mayfair. In a now-deleted social media post, Hamrick shared that she had been physically attacked and expressed gratitude to bystanders who stepped in to help.
The disturbing episode came on the heels of another tragedy for the Jagger family. Alexander Key, the longtime partner of Jagger’s granddaughter Assisi Jackson, was found dead at sea after being reported missing from his home in a remote coastal town in the U.K. The discovery followed an extensive search effort that lasted nearly two weeks. Sources say Jagger was still grappling with that loss when news of Hamrick’s attack reached him.
Insiders claim the back-to-back shocks have forced the rock legend to reassess what truly matters. “Mick isn’t getting any younger,” one source shared, adding that the recent events have been “wake-up calls” about slowing down and prioritizing family. Jagger and Hamrick share a 9-year-old son, Deveraux, and those close to the singer say he has been in a reflective state as he processes everything that has unfolded.
The Rolling Stones have already signaled a lighter touring schedule for 2026, reportedly due in part to health considerations surrounding guitarist Keith Richards. The band has also continued to feel the absence of longtime drummer Charlie Watts, who died in 2021. Now, according to insiders, Jagger may be focusing more on personal milestones, including deepening his commitment to Hamrick and spending more time with his children and grandchildren. After decades of living life at full throttle, the rock icon may be ready to shift gears.
