Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger will be surrounded by family and friends later as he celebrates his 65th birthday.

The singer, who is now old enough to collect his pension, is expected to celebrate with a quiet dinner with girlfriend L'Wren Scott.

Despite his increasing years, Jagger has never showed signs of slowing down – and continues to tour with the Rolling Stones, most recently on their Bigger Bang jaunt.

Two shows from the tour were also filmed for the recent Martin Scorsese directed Shine A Light, on which Jagger was an executive producer.

As yet, Jagger’s only confirmed birthday present came yesterday when it was revealed that the band have signed a new "exclusive, long-term, worldwide" with Universal Records.

The agreement, which encompasses past and future albums, ends their 31-year association with EMI records.
