has it that Mick Jagger will receiving knighthood status as early as next weekend.

Independent reports that Jagger was nominated for the award by British Prime

believed that Jagger will receive the honor this upcoming weekend during a round of
awards to coincide with the Jubilee celebration. Quite a turn of events, considering in the
’60s Jagger and his antics were viewed about as positively as Eminem. Evidently, time heals everything
