Jumping Jack Flash! Sir Mick Jagger, 72, struts his stuff on-stage in Chile as The Rolling Stones kick off South America tour

He may be 72-year-old, but Mick Jagger proved he's still got the energy of man half his age on Wednesday night.

Taking to the stage at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos, in Santiago, Chile the singer joined the rest of The Rolling Stones in kicking-off the their OLÉ South American tour.

The gnarled rocker plunged into a 19-song set alongside Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts, which saw the band belt out classic hits, including, Gimme Shelter and Jumping Jack Flash.

And while the band may have a collective age of 286 between the members - like Mick Keith is 72, Charlie, 74, and Ronnie, 68 - they used their decades of experience to put on a t rue rock 'n' roll show.

Sauntering on-stage in front of thousands of fans, Mick appeared to be more sprightly than ever as he hopped, jumped, postured and swung his hips around.

Wearing a typically ostentatious ensemble, the London-born singer donned a sparkling tri-colour blazer which he teamed with a silver satin shirt, black fitted trousers and trainers.

With his peppered brown locks still thick and lustrous, the chart-topping singer certainly cut a more youthful figure than his age would tell.

Gurning, pouting and shouting, Mick worked the crowd like a seasoned pro, while Kieth and Ronnie crunched out chords and tickled licks from their guitars.

Ronnie - who is expecting twins with his third wife Sally Humphreys, 38 - sported his trademark wild black hair, while he wore a black leather jacket, purple tee-shirt and skinny jeans for the gig.

Keith - Mick's co-writer - looked in fine form, living up to the legend tha he's semingly invincible to the ravages of age and life.

Waring a silk bomber jacket, pink open-neck shirt and black trousers, the notorious guitar-slinger also sported his usual black bandana holding back his thick, wild silver locks.

Meanwhile Charlie Watts cut a typically reserved figure at the back on a drum kit, as he dutifully kept the band in time with his precision skills.

Working the crowd like the seasoned pros they are, the Stones hurled through a greatest hits set, which ended with two of their most iconic songs: Can't Always Get What You Want and Satisfaction.

The gig marked the start of their South American tour, which will wrap-up with a two-night stint in Mexico city on March 14 and 17.
