Duffy – real name Aimee Anne Duffy – discovered The Rolling Stones as a child by watching her dad’s old video tapes of 60s TV show Ready Steady Go, and she still has a soft spot for the rock legend.

Duffy said: “He is sexy, charismatic, bluesy – he’s got it all, even now. Jumpin’ Jack Flash was the first music I can remember, from a video tape my dad had.”

The Mercy singer also admits she had no idea how old the video was that she was watching, and thought she had made an amazing discovery of a little-known new band.

She added: “Of course, no one told me, as a six-year-old, that they weren’t current. I thought I’d found the most important thing in music – some obscure band nobody knew.”

Duffy’s latest single Warwick Avenue reached number three in the UK charts this week. She will be performing across Europe in June and July, including appearances at the Accelerator festival in Sweden, Glastonbury festival in the UK and the Roskilde Festival in Denmark.
