Keith Richards

by Victor Bockris

Published 1 August 1992
Victor Bockris's title follows the roller coaster ride that is the life of the one Rolling Stone who remained true to the cause, the rebel whose brushes with herion addiction, an ever-present bottle of whisky and an extraordinary ability to go without sleep for days on end have long marked him down as the likeliest rock star to die prematurely. Yet Keith Richards has defied them all, outliving many of those who though him doomed. Based on interviews with Richards and as well as many who've worked and partied with him over the years, Bockris's book offers a comprehensive biography of this legendary figure.
