weak.

talking.

For Jagger, it wasn’t about fame, cameras, or even the audience.
It was about showing up for a friend when it mattered most.
“You’re Still a Legend, Mate”
When the final chord faded into silence, Mick didn’t stand to leave right away.
Instead, he leaned forward, gently clasping Phil’s hand.
