Fair to middlin drummer.

His granddaughter lives here in Perth.

When the Stones come to Perth, he plays at a little jazz club here (unannounced).

Nothing in that link supports your claim that he has always remained faithful to his wife. In fact the only person who can possibly know that is he himself.  Why make these absurd naive statements and make yourself look silly all the time?
