Bass player, Darryl Jones, 62, has been performing with the Stones since the '90s, and he says they no longer have big asks for their backstage area, such as huge gaming rooms, but there is still plenty of food to chow down on, including 80-year-old guitarist Keith Richards' favorite, the humble shepherd's pie.

Darryl - who replaced Bill Wyman, 87, after he retired in 1993 - is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper's Wired column as saying, "It's changed over time, there used to be a huge snooker room. They would make a room out of curtains and things. We had the banks of video racing games, where you sit, that was around for a while."

"They kinda cut back on that stuff now."

He added, "Keith still has what he loves, shepherd's pie. There's so much food backstage, me and the keyboard player have our own rider."

VMZ can reveal that the group still like to mix things up, only deciding on their final set list less than an hour before they head out on stage.

With a back catalogue of over 400 songs, the group keep their encore of Gimme Shelter and Satisfaction each night the same, but will regularly switch out other hits throughout the gig.

Their backing singers even love to wade in and suggest their favourites for each night.

Ronnie then hand paints the final set list onto a canvas backstage, which is turned into a print and sold to fans via the band's art store.
