Keith Richards, a member of the Rolling Stones and widely considered to be one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time, has made a point of living life on his own terms—even when those terms have far exceeded standards of convention and propriety. Now, in his long-awaited autobiography, he opens up about his earliest years in postwar Kent; learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones; the rise to prominence of the Stones and the famous shows, tours, and records; his occasionally fraught relationship with Jagger and his romances with Anita Pallenberg and Patti Hansen; his struggles with drug addiction and his run-ins with the law in various countries—nothing is off limits. Richards’s story is, in many ways, the history of rock music itself and a cultural snapshot of the last four decades.
