“And we also were, outside of the band… we used to hang out quite a lot and have interesting times. We loved sports: we’d go to football, we’d go to cricket games, and we had other interests apart from music.

“But of course I really miss Charlie so much.”

The Rolling Stones recently finished their UK and European headline tour, held in celebration of their 60th anniversary.
