Reluctant outlaw, rock 'n' roll's unparalleled hellraiser, and one of the greatest
guitar gods of all time, Keith Richards has forged a life that most of us can only
imagine--and often envy. And amazingly he's lived to tell about it. Now, at last,
in his own words, the ultimate rock Icon gives us the definitive rock autobiography.
In Life, in his own raw, fierce voice, the man himself tells about life lived fast
and hard in the creative hurricane--from his early days as a young boy growing up
in a council estate, listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records,
to taking the guitar to its absolute limit and joining forces with Mick Jagger to
form The Rolling Stones. With unflinching honesty, he reveals all the highs and
lows of rock 'n' roll, from the meteoric rise to fame and the notorious drug busts
to the women, drinking, and heroin addiction that made him infamous. The living
legend chronicles how he created the revolutionary, high-octane riffs that defined
"Gimme Shelter" and "Honky Tonk Woman," his affair with the equally infamous Anita
Pallenberg (the mother of three of his children), and the tragic death of Brian
Jones. From falling in love with Patti Hansen to his tumultuous relationship with
Mick, we follow Keef on the ultimate road trip we have all longed to know more
about--of an unfettered, fearless, on-the-edge life lived to the fullest.
