Synopsis

Keith Richards is the legendary rock'n'roll survivor of our time. He's the shy, half-educated boy from Dartford; the writer and performer of timeless rock classics like '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction', 'Ruby Tuesday' and 'Brown Sugar', among scores of others; the 'elegantly wasted' junkie hooked on drugs and booze; a cultural icon to three generations of fans; and, latterly, a contented family man who continues, nonetheless, to be rock's most indomitable living practitioner. But who is the real Keith Richards behind the kohl-eyed image? In this penetrative and entertaining portrait, Sandford reveals a life of brilliant invention, of talent, self-destruction, drugs, sex and lurid excess, and above all the glorious rush of the music.
