Mick Jagger Stuns with Surprise Oscars Appearance, Talks Chart-Topping Soundtrack Success
In a shocking turn of events, rock legend and iconic musician Mick Jagger made a surprise appearance at the 2025 Oscars ceremony, revealing that his collaborative soundtrack “El Mal” won the prestigious Best Original Song Oscar.
As Jagger took to the stage, he was met with thunderous applause from the audience. The 79-year-old music icon couldn’t contain his excitement, beaming with pride as he accepted the award alongside composer Hans Zimmer and lyricist Julia Michaels.
“I’m absolutely over the moon!” Jagger exclaimed, as he held up the Oscar statuette. “This is an incredible honor, and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work on this project with such talented individuals.”
When asked about his surprise appearance, Jagger jokingly quipped, “I guess you could say I ‘painted it black’ for one night only!” The audience erupted into laughter, acknowledging the legendary rockstar’s penchant for clever wordplay.
Jagger also took a moment to express his heartfelt gratitude towards his collaborators and the Academy. “To Hans, Julia, and everyone involved in this project – thank you for believing in me and allowing me to be a part of something so special,” he said.
This win marks Jagger’s first Oscar victory since the inception of the Best Original Song category in 1932. When asked about what drives him to continue creating music despite his illustrious career, Jagger stated, “Music is my lifeblood – it’s what keeps me going.”
Upon further inquiry about his chart-topping soundtrack, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, Jagger humbly downplayed the achievement. “It’s just a bonus when you get to work with incredibly talented people and create something that resonates with audiences worldwide,” he said.
Jagger concluded by emphasizing the importance of music as a universal language, stating, “I’m thrilled to be part of this incredible community that transcends borders and continues to push boundaries.”
As Jagger took his leave, it was clear that even at 79 years young, the rock legend is still capable of stealing the spotlight.
