Meet Your Heroes

Jagger revealed why he heeded the Beatles member's advice

Mick Jagger had a missed connection with the King.

In a recent interview on the podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, the Rolling Stones frontman recalled heeding John Lennon‘s advice not to meet Elvis Presley. “I remember John telling me, ‘Yeah, you should never meet your heroes,’” Jagger, 82, said. “So, I didn’t. I took John’s advice.”

Looking back, Jagger admitted that it “was really stupid of me” because he would “have loved to have met Elvis.”
