Mick Jagger is to receive a knighthood for services to music in the Queen's Birthday Honours next weekend, according to newspaper reports.
The report that the pop star, 58, is to receive the honour comes after he joked in a television documentary about missing out on a royal honour.
Neither Buckingham Palace nor Downing Street would comment on the reports that Jagger, who turns 59 next month, will be knighted by Britain's Queen Elizabeth in her birthday honors list next weekend for his services to music over some 40 years.
In the Channel 4 programme Being Mickbroadcast last November, the singer held a mock conversation with an imaginary royal who said to him: "Is it true that you haven't got anything at all? That's rather odd isn't it?"
He would be the latest in a line of pop stars to receive a royal honour. Sir Elton John was knighted in 1997, Sir Cliff Richard received the honour in 1995.
Sir Paul McCartney was granted the knighthood in 1996 for his contribution to British music and society, including the charitable and educational causes he supports such as the Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts.
He had already been honoured with an MBE along with fellow members of The Beatles - an award John Lennon famously handed back.
Boomtown Rats singer Bob Geldof was also awarded an honorary knighthood in 1986 in recognition of his work organising the Live Aid charity concerts.
