- Children
- Guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist of Foreigner.
- He was married to socialite/writer Ann Dexter-Jones, mother of Mark Ronson, Samantha Ronson and Charlotte Ronson. Ann and Mick have two children, Annabelle and Alexander Dexter-Jones. Married for nearly 25 years, in 2007 Jones and Dexter-Jones divorced. He also has two sons, from prior relationships, Roman, partner in Miami's largest nightclub group, The Opium Group, and Christopher Jones.
- Formed Foreigner after meeting former King Crimson multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald. The two then recruited English drummer Dennis Elliott and three Americans, including vocalist Lou Gramm, and dubbed the band Foreigner due to the fact that the band was half-British and half-American.
- Replaced Luther Grosvenor in the group Spooky Tooth.
- For a time during the 1960s Mick was a session guitarist for Bulgarian-French singer and actress Sylvie Vartan.
- I'd have to say that I follow the George Harrison approach to playing. George was never the guitar hero type of musician, he played for what enhanced the song, and that's been my approach to all my playing in Foreigner.
- I really like the way "Waiting For A Girl Like You" sounds on acoustic guitars, rather than the piano and synths and guitars on the record. It was a song that came together really quickly; I wrote the whole thing in about half an hour. It's one of those occasions where a song comes together really quickly, and you try and think back and work out how it all happened so easily - and you never can!
- I had a few friends who used to busk - I never actually did but I was quite interested. If I walk past a guy playing in the street I usually drop some money in the hat: it's a musician earning his money. I always think that could have been me.
