Legendary Rolling Stones frontman, Mick Jagger, has become a dad for the eighth time - at the age of 73.

The Dartford-born singer and his 29-year-old girlfriend, Melanie Hamrick, gave birth to a baby boy in New York yesterday.

His publicist Bernard Doherty confirmed both were delighted with their new arrival and that he was present at the birth.

Jagger started dating Hamrick, an American ballerina, after the tragic suicide of long-term partner the fashion designer L'Wren Scott.

The rocker famously attended Dartford Grammar School after attending Wentworth Primary with guitarist Keith Richards.

The Mick Jagger Centre, a performing arts venue, was built on the grammar school site.

He has seven other children, five grandchildren and one great grandchild.

His daughters Lizzie and Georgia-May are models - following in their mother, Jerry Hall's footsteps.

The Rolling Stones whose line-up consists of Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood have just released a new blues album called Blue and Lonesome.
