Mick Jagger Once Again Ups His Social Media Game as Stones Kick Off Tour

The Rolling Stones kicked off their Hackney Diamonds Tour on April 28 in Houston and Mick Jagger has once again upped his social media game, posing for photos in plain sight around the band's latest tour stop.

Jagger, one of the most famous frontmen in the history of rock 'n' roll, pulled off similar stunts during the Stones last tour. This time around, he kicked off the action on April 26 with a series of photos taken at NASA's Space Center in Houston, where he posed with staff and tried a flight simulator and a virtual reality headset. Along with the photos, he posted the caption, "Thanks @NASA for being so welcoming to us and great to be shown around by astronauts Josh Cassada, Bob Hines and Jessica Meir."

Next, he posed for some snaps in public places around Houston, including in front of a mural, a giant sculpture of an armadillo, a sign urging people to "get saucy with our BBQ crew," and in the parking lot of NRG Stadium where he held up his arms to reveal the interesting fashion choice of wearing a belt with joggers. On some occasions, Jagger went incognito with a black baseball hat.

The 80-year-old ageless wonder also posted a video clip from the band's Houston concert with him singing and shimmering around the stage to "Start Me Up," the Stones' long-time show opener.

The band's next stop is Jazz Fest in New Orleans on May 2, so don't be surprised if Jagger is seen around New Orleans posing for more photos. The Stones also recently announced the opening acts on the tour. Gary Clark Jr. did the honors in Houston and a whole host of others a slated for other dates on the tour, including The Pretty Reckless (in Las Vegas on May 11), Tyler Childers (in Orlando, Fla. on June 3), Bettye LaVette (in Chicago on June 27), The War and Treaty (in Los Angeles on July 10), The Linda Lindas (in L.A. on July 13) and The Beaches (in Santa Clara on July 17).
