Rolling Stones On New Babies And Paying Taxes

21.19.00 Entertainment

Births, deaths and taxes - the Stones give Sky News their take on the certainties of life as they unveil their new exhibition.

Jagger: 'Lock Up Your Grandmothers'

For 54 years the Rolling Stones have been at the front line of popular culture - the consummate entertainers, with shocking moves and wild reputations to complete the rebel image.

But when the band sat down with Sky News for the launch of Exhibitionism at the Saatchi Gallery they seemed much more reflective than rebellious.

Keith Richards admitted they wanted to put on the retrospective because - while they may all be long-time pensioners - they insist they are going nowhere: "I refuse to croak and the band refuses to croak so we thought we'd better get it in now."

And from deaths to births, 68-year-old Ronnie Wood enthused at the prospect of becoming a father for the fifth time, telling Sky News: "Two baby girls in there, it's going to be a wonderful experience, I'm looking forward to not sleeping, it's a blessing they're two little girls, if it was two little boys it would be even harder."

As for taxes, commenting on the Panama Papers scandal, Ronnie Wood added: "I just pay my taxes I can't let them drive me away any more, you just have to pay up and get on with life."

While many of their contemporaries such as Bob Geldof, Bono and Sir Paul McCartney have used their star power to shine a light on political, humanitarian and environmental issues, the Stones have never really been political.

But Mick Jagger did contemplate the EU referendum debate with Sky News.

"Europe is a complex question," said Sir Mick.

"I wonder if David Cameron would actually want to put this out to a referendum now ... A lot of politics is emotion, it affects different people in different ways; to me personally it won't make a huge difference ...

"I think to the country it will be detrimental in the short term if we pull out ... but in the long term, like 20 years' time, it could be beneficial."

On their historic gig in Cuba last month, Jagger added that he hopes it will "lead to greater freedom of expression" in the country.

The band's exhibition elegantly examines their history, recreating the flat in Edith Grove - described by Richards as a pigsty - where they shared a room in the early 60s, to countless costumes, photos, guitars and memorabilia, and an impressive 3D performance, which makes you feel like you are onstage with Jagger.

A glitzy red carpet greeted guests at the gallery on London's trendy King's Road, with family and friends in attendance from Fearne Cotton and Jessie Wood to James Bay.

:: Exhibitionism, the Rolling Stones' first ever exhibition, is at the Saatchi Gallery from 5 April - 4 September 2016.
