Mick Jagger welcomes baby no. 8

(CNN) —

Papa really is a Rolling Stone. Mick Jagger has welcomed his eighth child, his publicist confirmed. The 73-year old rocker and his 29-year-old girlfriend, American ballerina Melanie Hamrick, welcomed a baby boy Thursday in New York City.

"Mick was at the hospital for the arrival," according to a statement from Jagger's publicist. "Mother and baby are doing well and we request that the media respect their privacy at this time."

The pair began dating in 2014. Jagger has seven children ranging in ages from 45 to 17 and in 2014 became a great grandfather when his then 21-year-old granddaughter Assisi Jackson gave birth to a baby girl.

In May, fellow Rolling Stone Ron Wood became a father again at 68 after his wife, Sally Humphreys, gave birth to twin girls.

COMMENT

All I can say is WOW! The Stones are a "wild bunch" at the very least ... When they say hard rock, they actually mean it!

I just got ur commentary, Ice. very funny.

its nice to be rich. and, i am glad mick did not go the route of plastic surgery. he looks normal.

he is a wise man. i had front row seats when an ex fiance had tickets from the chicago exchange. Mick was doing that tour with a large hose.

he was squirting all the front row people.

i was pissed enuff that i got searched. they took away my apple juice. i had to swallow my ludes without water. omg.

so, when he aimed that frigadelic hose at me, i stood up with a look that i would kill him if he destroyed my hair or my makeup, and he was laughing and backed off.

frig me. he was cool though about it. i guess he knows the look of a woman whom means what her eyes say.

(we would so not have been amused had he hit me with that water hose. i did try to sue cuz i was working with an attorney in chicago. but the tickets said we would be searched. why my wee can of apple juice was deemed a threat to the man, i shall never know. it was my bare hands that would have been a threat if he had ruined my appearance and i had to hang out all nite in wet dripping clothes and ruined wet hair.)

i do think he is a smart man.

He is a good man and to still have those pipes at 73 absolutely a miracle. That said may be nice to be rich, but might be better to have your dad with you for least half your life. I'd give every cent for my dad, miss him and realize what a jerk I was to him at times cause rock n roll kinda scared him.
