The Rolling Stones, arguably the greatest rock and roll band in the history of rock and roll, are back on tour right now playing huge football stadiums across the U.S.
Tonight they are in Charlotte to play Bank of America Stadium, where the Carolina Panthers play.
Last night was a night off for the band and Mick Jagger, one of the greatest and most recognizable singers in rock and roll history, decided to check out the town and popped into a small bar for a drink.
Check out this photo he shared on Twitter. It’s so wild to see such a legend just standing there having a drink with others sitting around him with no clue that MICK FREAKING JAGGER IS RIGHT THERE:

I spent a lot of time this morning thinking about that photo and wondering how nobody knew Mick Jagger was right there. Part of me wondered if it was the band’s road crew out with him for the night because nobody seemed to be in awe.
But then we got an answer to this mystery and it’s the one I hoped for:
Co-owner of the Thirsty Beaver Brian Wilson tells me Mick Jagger went unnoticed last night. Turns out the people to the right of him in this photo have floor tickets to the show tonight and they didn’t even realize it was him! pic.twitter.com/mFxXOmiAsH

Incredible! They were so close to royalty and didn’t even know it! I’d lose my mind over that!
You know what’s also incredible? That bar.
