“Next year is going to be a big one, but not just because fatherhood is looming once again. He's keen to go back on the road and play in huge stadiums, and some have already been secretly booked out in preparation for a possible show.”
Mick, 73, and ballerina Melanie Hamrick, who is over 40 years his junior, are expecting a baby together next year.

The 72-year-old rocker said the band had “no intention whatsoever” of making a blues record but their collective enthusiasm was reignited when they covered 'Blues and Lonesome' in an exercise to unite them as a group.

“Mick turns round and says, 'I'd like to do this Howlin' Wolf song. 'OK, keep rolling, from there, we almost felt we were being ordered from above."
