He has since appeared on TV all over the world and fortunately happened to be a huge Rolling Stones fan before the realisation dawned that he probably did look and sound quite a bit like the legendary singer.

Having dominated rock ’n’ roll music since the 1960s, the Stones were at the forefront of the British invasion of bands that conquered the US in 1964.

They ran neck and neck with The Beatles in the popularity stakes with the late-Sixties and early-Seventies considered by many as their Golden Age.

Their live shows are legendary and their musical legacy is up there with the very best having recorded some of the most phenomenal rock ‘n’ roll songs of all time, tracks like Satisfaction, Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Not Fade Away, Honky Tonk Woman, Brown Sugar, Start Me Up...to name just a few.
