London - With new twin daughters to look after Ronnie Wood, who is now 69-years-old has told how he is going without sleep for very different reasons – in his role as chief nappy changer.
The Rolling Stones star also revealed how he had been serenading Gracie Jane and Alice Rose – his first children with 38-year-old wife Sally – on his guitar.
Proudly showing off his daughters, who were born at the end of last month, Wood told Hello!: ‘I’m the burper, walker and nappy changer, and I’m still trying to work out when I can get to sleep in between all that!
‘I have played the guitar to them and when I get round to it I will do some drawings. At the moment I’m just soaking up every moment we have.’
He also revealed Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger, 72, ‘couldn’t wait’ to see the girls – and visited the twins only three days after they were born.
Wood’s theatre producer wife, who he married in 2012, said both she and her husband shed tears when their daughters were born.
She added: ‘Ronnie cut the cords and we just held our babies and looked at their little faces.
The twins are Wood’s fifth and sixth children, but his first children with Sally, who is 31 years his junior.
Last year the rocker was accused of being ‘selfish’ for choosing to become a father at 69. However his third wife defended the couple’s decision, saying: ‘I do accept this is a shock to some people and ridiculous to others, but these children are loved.’
