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 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'm always shy in front of an audience, so I'm always at the back, in the shadows, just doing it. I don't like the front, the adulation.

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

I had a wonderful time with the Stones but after 31 years, I thought it was time to move on.

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.
