Chris Jagger's Bio
I don't think "infamous" means what this reviewer thinks it means. Mick Jagger is not "infamous" he is "famous." https://www.allmusic.com/artist/chris-jagger-mn0000090824/biography.

While I think the hard definition of "famous" is probably technically accurate, I think it can be the author's prerogative to use the term "infamous" when talking about someone like the lead singer of one of the most notorious rock and roll bands of all time.
I certainly wouldn't say that Peggy Lee or Yanni were infamous, but I think an editor could get away with calling Iggy Pop or Jim Morrison or Mick Jagger "infamous."
Remember: It's only Rock & Roll but we like it.
