My first record I owned was by Les Paul.

All of my books are about researching. I do all the research and I give it to a writer who can put it in the written word better than I could.

I can't really sing and play live, because I can't play bass efficiently and sing at the same time. If I concentrated on the vocals, I'd mess up the bass, and if I concentrated on the bass, I'd forget the lines.

I open events for museums and I do charity work and photography.

The Stones always tried to do the odd smaller gig when they could.

But why is it that in music, anything more than 5 years old - apart from a few hits - is never played on radio to the young public?

I always say that I am very proud of the work that I did with the Rolling Stones and that I am also proud of what I have done with the Rhythm Kings.
