Sir Mick Jagger is his family's "tour guide".

The 82-year-old rocker has spent decades travelling the world with the Rolling Stones and he has always urged his eight children to be curious about their surroundings and engaging with the area they are in in a variety of ways including visiting museums and learning local history.

His daughter Georgia May Jagger, 34, told People magazine: "He's always like, 'You've got to know about the history of where you are."

Her sister Lizzy, 42, agreed Mick is the family "tour guide" who always urged his brood to: "Be educated, know your history, and be a good traveller!"

Lizzy also credited the Paint it Black singer for her great wardrobe.

She said: "I am the same pants size as our dad, so I'm really lucky. I've got so many great flares and bell- bottoms from the '70s. It's, like, half my wardrobe."

The model has always appreciated Mick's risk-taking approach to his image.

She quipped: "Not many people's fathers did a blue eyeshadow in the '70s."

The sisters' mother is model Jerry Hall and the pair admire her enthusiasm for life.

Georgia said: "She's never been afraid of getting older. She'll say 'I'm almost 70' all the time, and she's planning a big [birthday] party. It's something she's very proud of, which I think is really powerful."

Meanwhile, Mick's current partner, Melanie Hamrick, recently defended the 44-year age gap between them.

The 37-year-old former ballerina, 37, quipped to Page Six: "He's younger than me.

"He's amazing, he really is."

The star has son Deveraux, eight, with the legendary rocker and explained that her boy has inherited his father's exuberant dance moves.

She said: "`It's amazing. It's natural, it's in his genes. No one taught him, no one influenced him. He moved like that before he saw any of his dad's concerts."

Melanie previously claimed that she ignores those who comment on the age gap between her and Mick.

She told The Sunday Times newspaper last year: "Everyone's going to have their opinion.

"If you think about others' opinions, no matter where you are in life, you're going to have a problem and you're going to analyse it. I put the blinders on. Am I happy? Yes. Are the people in my life happy? Yes. Am I hurting anyone? No. OK, they can mind their own business."
