Born in Dartford in Kent in December 1943, Keith Richards continues to compose, play songs and tour with the Rolling Stones.
'a masterpiece, the most sustained, colourful and rambunctious rampage through his [Keith's] 67 years imaginable' -- Mark Ellen THE WORD 'densely packed with incident ... immensely readable' -- Lynn Barber SUNDAY TIMES 'Funny, poignant, brutally honest, engagingly colloquial, Life is pure Keith Richards, as good a rock memoir as you are likely to read.' -- Sally Cousins SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'This is a good, gossipy read. But the best stuff is Keith on music. Check out his wonderful passage on Charlie Watt's drumming.' -- William Leith LONDON EVENING STANDARD 'Dark, honest and gleefully indiscreet from the first page to the last, it puts some of today's painfully dull musicians to shame.' SHORTLIST 'Once you begin this, wild, wild horses couldn't drag you away.' -- Boyd Tonkin INDEPENDENT 'A hilarious, ribald and often shocking tale told elegantly and with much candidness.' CATHOLIC HERALD 'I was hooked from the start' -- Giles Deacon HARPER'S BAZAAR
