Tel Aviv for six months, and later with the
Black Theatre of Brixton at the
Institute of Contemporary Arts in London with Rufus Collins. He then joined
The Glasgow Citizens' Theatre, where he appeared with
Kieran Hinds,
Pierce Brosnan, and
Sian Thomas. He also played repertory theatre in
Nottingham,
Plymouth, and
Hammersmith Lyric London. In the 1970s, his project for recording an album with the
Flying Burrito Brothers was aborted. In the 1980s, he contributed on two of the
Rolling Stones' albums,
Dirty Work (1986) and
Steel Wheels (1989) while he also worked in France with
Vanessa Paradis's producer,
Franck Langolff. Jagger has worked as a journalist, contributing articles for
The Daily Telegraph,

Tibet, including one at
Alexandra Palace in London in the presence of the
Dalai Lama, where the acts included
David Gilmour and
Sinéad O'Connor. Jagger's third album was released in 1994. Since this date, his musical style has changed to incorporate elements of
cajun,
zydeco,
folk,
country,
blues, and
swamp rock. Jagger's song "Still Waters" appears on the 2013
Carla Olson album
Have Harmony, Will Travel. Jagger teamed with his brother Mick for two duets to mark the 40th anniversary of his debut album. In April 2018 it was announced that Jagger would be the support act at six concerts in June 2018 of the German popstar
Nena, a long-time fan of the Rolling Stones who had met Jagger during one of his performances in Verden the previous October. In 2021, he recorded a duet titled "Anyone Seen My Heart" with his brother Mick and produced an accompanying video. His song, "Hey Brother", is about his relationship with his brother Mick.
Guitar company Jagger and his business partner Pat Townshend founded the guitar company
Staccato in the mid-1980s. Townshend designed the
magnesium alloy guitar, The Staccato, featuring a neck and bridge system that can be swapped out. The user can interchange a bass neck for a six-string neck. Some models feature no volume or tone pots. The user can activate the volume controls on a touch sensitive LED pad. A prototype bass was built in
Norfolk, England in 1983, and a business partnership was formed to produce Staccato guitars at the schoolhouse in
Woodbastwick, Norfolk. The partners included Townshend,
Bill Wyman, and Chris and Mick Jagger. The company went under in 1987.
Gene Simmons played a Staccato bass during
Kiss'
Crazy Nights World Tour. ==Personal life==
