Mick Jagger Relies On Oxygen Mask To Get Through His Shows

To help him get through his grueling live performances, Mick Jagger has an oxygen tank backstage. At 63, the Rolling Stones lead singer struggles to keep his energy levels up for an entire two-hour performance, so when guitarist Keith Richards plays his two solo songs, Mick goes backstage and straps on an oxygen mask.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper, "It helps him get his breath back quicker, keeps the airways clear and gives him what he needs to get back out and step it up a gear for the second half of the show."

A spokesman for the Stones confirmed that Jagger has been using an oxygen tank on the band's "A Bigger Bang" world tour.

"Lots of singers have an oxygen tank by the stage. It's fairly common," he said.

Jagger also reportedly uses the natural high to help him stay up for all-night parties.

"Ronnie Wood threw a party last Sunday after their Twickenham show. And Mick had a few lungfuls of oxygen before that too, just to help him make the most of the party and stop him from dozing off," said a source.

Jagger isn't the only star to use an oxygen tank. Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose inhales pure oxygen before live shows, while Michael Jackson has been reported to sleep in an oxygen tank in an attempt to try and stay looking young.

Nellcote I dig Nick Lowe, but Dave Edmunds version of Bride is better...Too bad the two of them don't hook up again, they were wicked pissa together!

sirmoonie The way that man runs around - there is no way Mick couldn't be huffing O2 during his performances. Even professional athletes in sports such as football and basketball have oxygen tanks on the sidelines for just such purposes.

Ever seen a Denver Stones' show? The audience is flapping around like hooked cod at the end of the show. Mick Jagger is a grueler.

Cocaine Eyes I think that article was talked about in a real music magazine and it was declared untrue. Sorry, I don't recall which magazine, but I do remember reading about it being untrue.

kovach I remember seeing him exit the stage after the main set before the encores in '81 and he did this, so it's nothing new...25 years later!
