At a Rolling Stones concert in Liverpool in June 2022, the spotlight momentarily shifted from the legendary Mick Jagger to his youngest son, Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger. The then 5-year-old was caught on camera dancing backstage, showing off an energy and flair that immediately reminded fans of his father’s signature moves. As the Stones performed their classic You Can’t Always Get What You Want, Deveraux, dressed in a Rolling Stones t-shirt, swayed and jumped to the music with pure joy, his enthusiasm radiating through the screen.
His mother, former ballerina Melanie Hamrick, proudly shared the video on Instagram, where it quickly gained attention. Fans and media alike were charmed by the young Jagger’s natural stage presence, with many commenting on how he appeared to have inherited his father’s charisma and rhythm. After all, with a father like Mick Jagger and a mother who was a professional dancer, it’s no surprise that Deveraux already has an instinct for movement and music.
But this wasn’t just a one-time display of inherited showmanship. In July 2024, now at the age of seven, Deveraux was once again seen grooving to the Rolling Stones’ music backstage. His mother posted another video showing him moving with confidence and enthusiasm, echoing the dynamic energy that has made his father an icon of rock ‘n’ roll. It was a touching moment—seeing the next generation of the Jagger family fully immersed in the music that has defined decades.
The resemblance between Mick and his young son has long been a topic of discussion. From his striking features to his expressive mannerisms, Deveraux looks like a mini version of his rockstar dad. But it’s his natural love for music and dance that truly captivates audiences. As he twirled and bounced to the legendary band’s performance, it became clear that the Jagger legacy is alive and well in the next generation.
For long-time fans of the Rolling Stones, these moments are more than just adorable family snapshots; they are a reminder of the power of music to connect generations. Seeing Mick Jagger, who has spent more than six decades thrilling audiences worldwide, now sharing his passion for performance with his young son is nothing short of heartwarming.
Whether Deveraux will follow in his father’s footsteps as a performer remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—he already knows how to steal the show.
