Asked about his early groupies, Jagger described Northern women as ‘dreadful’ and said that he preferred American fans who were ‘younger and very clean’.

He said: ‘Great ugly ones – dreadful Northern ones with long black hair, plastic boots and macs. Ugh. Thankfully, the girls are much ­prettier now than they were then. 

‘Hey, do you remember when girls nearly ­always seemed to have ­backcombed hair? I didn’t like them. I used to go for the type with the straight black hair, usually dyed.

‘Oh God, they were so ugly. In the States the girls were pretty good. Much younger and very clean. Not quite so rainy, not such a rainy day.’ 

Jagger added he ‘hated’ rock ’n’ roll wives, the invention of the pill had made it ‘easier’ and a ‘prolonged relationship’ didn’t work with being on the road.

Mick has a total of eight children from different relationships.

Sir Mick made the comments about Rolling Stones fans after the band’s drummer Charlie Watts died last year.  

He recently said he finds it ‘strange’ performing without Charlie, who passed away on August 24 at the age of 80.

The Sympathy for the Devil hitmaker admitted he and his bandmates were still not used to being on stage without the late drummer when they were performing on their North American tour last year.

Mick, who described his beloved bandmate as ‘the heartbeat of the group’, told SiriusXM DJ Howard Stern: ‘Every time we get together now and rehearse, we say, “Oh, Charlie would say this, then he would do that.”  

An official cause of death has not been revealed but he suffered from a series of health problems in recent years, including a diagnosis of throat cancer in 2004. 

‘We did so many shows with him and so many tours and so many recording sessions, it’s strange being without him. And he said, when he was sick, he said, “You’ve gotta just carry on and do this tour. Don’t stop because of me.” So we did.’

The Paint It Black singer described Charlie as the ‘heartbeat’ of the group.   

He said: ‘Charlie was the heartbeat for the band, and also a very steady personality. He was not to be perturbed. He was a very reliable person, wasn’t a diva — that’s the last thing you want in a drummer.’

And it’s not only on stage that Mick misses Charlie because they had a lot of other shared passions.  

He said: ‘I miss Charlie because he had a great sense of humour and we also were, outside of the band, we used to hang out quite a lot and have interesting times…

‘We liked sports, we’d go to football, we’d go to cricket games, and we had other interests apart from music.’
