There were a number of reasons for his departure. Taylor told Louder Sound in January 2020, "Yeah, I could write a book about that. From the moment I joined John Mayall [in 1967, per Ultimate Classic Rock], right up until 1974, I'd been working all the time. I was completely used to either being in the studio or being on the road. If it wasn't with the Stones, it was with somebody else. I just needed a break."
In 1975 after he left The Rolling Stones (and was replaced by Ronnie Wood, pictured above left, with Taylor), Taylor joined Cream vocalist and bass player Jack Bruce in the Jack Bruce Band, but that was short-lived, according to all music. Over the decades Taylor has played on various artists' recordings and toured with several others, all while occasionally releasing a solo album.
Today Taylor's net worth is around $300,000 according to Celebrity Net Worth, who reports that Mick Jagger's net worth is $500 million. According to the Guardian, in 2009, Taylor planned to sue the Rolling Stones over unpaid royalties, but Clash Music wrote a week later that Taylor had no intention of suing.
Taylor's manager, Jeff Allen, told Clash, "He (Mick Taylor) certainly didn't say that he was going to sue the Stones. Mick's got a very good relationship with the Stones. In fact, the last time we met up with them, him and Keith (Richards) were like long-lost lovers — hugging each other and happy to see each other."
