After months of uncertainty, Mick Jagger has managed to fit Queen Elizabeth II into his busy schedule.

The Rolling Stones singer said this week he'll go to accept his knighthood Dec. 12.

After difficulties caused by his touring schedule, Jagger was initially scheduled to be knighted on Wednesday, the same day rugby star Jonny Wilkinson will be made a Member of the Order of the British Empire, or MBE. But Jagger didn't want to detract attention from the man who led England to the World Cup title last month.

A spokesman said the singer's 90-year-old father, Joe, will join him for the big day.
