, Lucas, Jagger's son with Brazilian model and TV presenter Luciana Morad, added to the strong family feel of the Australian leg of the Stones' world tour. Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood all arrived with relatives in tow. The Stones will perform their A Bigger Bang show to the sold-out Rod Laver Arena tonight. After touching down at Melbourne airport late yesterday afternoon, the band was ferried directly to the Park Hyatt hotel amid tight security. Jagger travelled by black BMW with Lucas. The rest of the band followed in luxury vans. Guitarist Richards looked relaxed, grinning and waving as he arrived. And he wasted no time making himself at home. A shirtless Richards hung out washing, including his trademark bandanna, on the railing outside his hotel room. His wife, Patti Hansen, left the hotel soon after the band arrived, followed by drummer Charlie Watts in another car. Jagger was not seen to leave. Richards' daughter Theodora, who came to Melbourne as a Grand Prix ambassador, was seen visiting her father in Sydney on Monday. The world's greatest rock 'n' roll band has an equally large entourage. More than 200 people are on hand to make sure everything runs smoothly during the Melbourne stay. The Stones' staff list includes musicians, road crew, personal assistants, caterers, accountants, drivers, film crew, masseurs and medical staff. The ageing rockers played to almost 60,000 people in Sydney on Tuesday night. Some fans paid up to $1200 to see them. A Bigger Bang is the highest-grossing tour of all time. The group flies out of Melbourne tomorrow to New Zealand.
