Has the rock legend finally found satisfaction in the excesses of partying? Mick Jagger recently professed that he has given up the hedonistic pleasures that take their toll physically, reports Reuters. With a new solo album out this week, "Goddess in the Doorway," and plans for an upcoming world tour with the Rolling Stones, the 58-year-old needs to make some sacrifices. "I've already changed my lifestyle to accommodate the fact that I have to do all this, to go on stage and perform," he said. "I stopped partying, stopped taking drugs and drinking and all that." Despite his wanton ways, Jagger has always been in fine physical condition, enabling him to spend hours onstage doing his signature leaping, strutting and shimmying. Luckily, he's not ready to give up those activities. When asked how long the Stones would continue to hit the stage, he replied, "For as long as they can still do it with some sense of dignity, I suppose."
