The family is planning a ‘massive blow-out’ to celebrate the Jumpin’ Jack Flash singer’s 80th birthday on July 26.
The friend said: ‘Mick will always be Mick, and the women in his life accepted that a long time ago.
It’s ironic that he sings about getting no satisfaction – but when you see him backstage after a concert and there are kids running around and ex-wives having a great time, you realise he’s a real family man. Everyone is treated equally, and that’s the key.
He’s always chosen strong women and it’s a tribute to them that they have created such a happy, blended unit.’
Mother of his first girl
American model Marsha Hunt, now 76, met Mick in London in the Swinging Sixties.They had a ten-month affair and she gave birth to his oldest child, daughter Karis, in 1970.
