Keith Richards: Defying the Odds and Reflecting on a Rock'n'Roll Legacy
Keith Richards, the iconic rock'n'roll figure, has defied the odds by reaching the age of 82. Recently becoming a great-grandfather and gearing up for the release of The Rolling Stones' 25th studio album, Foreign Tongues, Richards reflects on his past lifestyle choices. In a candid interview, he admits to quitting smoking six years ago, deeming it "childish." Despite still enjoying the occasional drink, Richards has cut back on his smoking habits, realizing the folly of it all. Known for his wild antics and drug use, Richards has been open about his past struggles with addiction, including a cocaine habit that he only kicked at the age of 62 after a serious injury. Despite his tumultuous past, Richards continues to defy expectations and live life on his own terms.
