Rolling Stones rocker, Ronnie Wood has commented on Sir Mick Jagger's incredible recovery from heart surgery aged 75, calling the rocker 'superhuman.'
The band began their postponed North American tour last week and Ronnie said Mick has stunned doctors with how quickly he has bounced back.
He told The Sun: 'He’s just so fit, he sets aside three hours a day to do exercise and that’s done him plenty of favours in later life.

'He’s superhuman really. Usually if this type of operation is done on a 75-year-old not in retirement they go back behind a desk. They’ve never had a case where the guy hasn’t had a desk job. He’s a medical marvel, is Mick.'
Ronnie added that Mick is even more of a handful now that he's back and on fighting form.
He said: 'Oh God, he’s even harder to stop now. It’s like, "Mick, come here, I want to talk to you", and he’s like all over the place. He’s really in good form.'
Mick and the rest of the band were back on stage in Chicago on Friday night, performing for the first time since April.
