Sir Mick Jagger has chosen a name for his eighth child.

The Rolling Stones frontman has named his newest son, Deveraux Octavian Basil.

The news was announced by Jagger's daughter Lizzy who posted a picture of the new born.

The caption read: “My beautiful baby brother Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger.”

Basil was the first name of Jagger's late father, who died in 2006, although he was known to others as Joe.

A spokesperson told the Daily Mirror: " Melanie Hamrick and Mick Jagger's son was born today in New York and they are both delighted.

"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."

The news came five months after it was first revealed that Jagger was to become a father again.

The music veteran already has seven children: Georgia, James, Jade, Elizabeth, Lucas, Karis and Gabriel.

He is also a grandfather of two.
