Rolling Stone Keith Richards has admitted that all the gigging and screwing he does is finally getting to him.

Speaking to Uncut, Richards distanced himself from relentlessly roguish pal Mick Jagger.

“I think a lot of Mick’s frenzy about physical stuff is actually mental,” began Richards, before seeming to lose his mind. “That’s the way he is. For me, doing a Rolling Stones show for two hours a night, that’s enough f**kin’ exercise, you know? Then I’ve got to go to bed with the old lady, bonka bonka. You know?”

Righto Keith. Still, Richards is happy with his lot - the guitarist saying that while Jagger “can’t get up in the morning without knowing who he’s going to call” Richards just “thanks God I’m awake”.

“Lay off the dope. That’s my advice now to all younger people who are into this sort of thing. Give it up, it ain’t really worth it. I know the fascination, but it ain’t worth it, pal.”

Says the millionaire rock star whose legend rides on the back of sex and drugs abuse. And, admittedly, an unrivalled way with a rhythm guitar.
