Speaking ahead of June's in/out vote, the Rolling Stones frontman said the issue of cutting ties with Brussels is "complex". But Sir Mick, one of Britain's best-loved musicians, argued the UK could have a viable future outside the 28-member bloc.

Sir Mick told Sky News: "I think it's a really complex question and I wonder if David Cameron – if he was asked today – would want to hold a referendum now. "I'm not a politician.

In the longer term, in say 20 years, it might turn out to be beneficial."
