He may be the world's biggest rockstar, but today, he's just a dad. 

Seventy-three year old Mick Jagger and his girlfriend, ballerina Melanie Hamrick, welcomed a boy into the world on Thursday, according to a statement made to BBC UK

"Mick was at the hospital for the arrival... Mother and baby are doing well and we request that the media respect their privacy at this time," Jagger's publicist told BBC, after adding that the new parents are "delighted."

This is Jagger's eighth child, and the seven others range in age — the oldest of which is 45. Jagger also became a great-grandfather in 2014 when Jade Jagger's daughter gave birth. 

Seems as if The Rolling Stones are having a good year. Member Ron Wood, 68, also welcomed twins into the world this year, and as a group, the band just released its first new album in 11 years, Blue and Lonesome.
