Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger admits he will never write his memoirs because he finds the whole process of revisiting his past depressing and boring.
The 69-year-old star is frequently pestered by publishers to pen his life story, and their requests have snowballed since his bandmate Keith Richards released his critically-acclaimed autobiography 'Life' in 2010, reported Daily Star.
"I still won't do it. And I've been asked again recently. I did it for the money in the '80s or early '90s. I started writing it but it was so depressing and boring (sic) having to scrape over your past.
"They wanted me to talk about people close to me and divulge all these secrets. I realised I didn't want to do that. So I stopped and gave all the money back," he said.
