Keith Richards Honors Mick Jagger's 80th Birthday With Sweet But Cheeky Tweet

Mick Jagger turned 80 years old on Wednesday, and hopefully he got at least a little “Satisfaction” from a birthday greeting sent by Keith Richards.

The Rolling Stones guitarist posted a tweet that was very sweet and slightly cheeky, appropriate for two bandmates who’ve spent decades together.

The 30-second clip begins with Richards doing a brief run on the piano before getting to the subject at hand:

“Hello, Mick. I guess, long may we keep saying this to each other: Happy birthday! Have another good one and give me a call. Let me know what it’s like,” he says with a chuckle.

Happy Birthday, Mick.
Long may we keep saying this to each other, Happy 80th!
Love, Keith @MickJagger pic.twitter.com/g86Zy8wpZC

Fellow Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood also offered a birthday greeting to Jagger on Instagram.

So far, Jagger hasn’t commented directly on Richards’ or Wood’s posts, but he did offer a generic thanks to all the well-wishing tweets.

Thanks so much for all your lovely comments and birthday wishes!! 🙏❤️

Jagger will probably have a chance to thank Richards and Wood soon, as the Stones are working on a tribute album to late drummer Charlie Watts, scheduled for release in the fall.
