RESTART ME UP

Jagger Rolling back years in Stones’ return two months after his heart op

MICK Jagger bounces back on stage to show his spark is still there – two months after having life-saving heart surgery.

The Rolling Stones frontman joked to the crowd “the first night is always slightly wobbly” as the band kicked off the first of their re-scheduled gigs.

But there were no wobbles for Sir Mick, 75, as he performed a full-on 90-minute set in Chicago – sprinting, spinning and performing his signature dance moves. With seemingly more energy than the thousands of stage lights, Jagger rolled back the years to deliver a vintage performance.

There was no sign of slowing down despite it being his first gig since he had a heart valve replaced in April. And there was no mention of the New York op that led to the 17-date US leg of the band’s No Filter Tour being postponed.

Instead, the dad-of-eight had the capacity crowd in the palm of his hand as he chatted between the Stones’ iconic songs. He recalled how they first played the Windy City in 1964, joking: “We’ve played Chicago 38 times, and I still haven’t had an Italian beef washed down with (local liquor) Malört.”

The band, in their 57th year, opened with Street Fighting Man, followed by 1967’s Let’s Spend the Night Together.

Along with Keith Richards, 75, Ronnie Wood, 72, and drummer Charlie Watts, 78, he belted out a string of classics, to close with (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.

Danielle Finn, from Milwaukee, said: “It’s mind-boggling to see him bounce around with more energy than a kid at 75. It’s great to have him back.”
