Victor Bockris's definitive biography of Rolling Stone Keith Richards has been substantially updated in celebration of the 40th anniversary of The Rolling Stones - the self-styled Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band in the World.
Described by countless reviewers as the best account of Richard's life in print, Bockris's book 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 heroin addition, ever-present bottle of whisky and 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 thought him doomed.
Based on exclusive interviews with Richards and as well as many who've worked and partied with him over the years, Bockris's book is not just the only full length biography of his pivotal and legendary figure but the definitive one.
