Exclusive: Rolling Stones unlikely to tour again due to Keith Richards' ill health

Don't know what to think of this, but it doesn't sound good to me! Could be just another of those write ups making things up again.

It was only a couple of months ago that we were commenting on Keith Richards' curious case of the Benjamin Buttons, but apparently all is not as it seemed... In fact, according to a mole, the guitarist's hands - and memory - are so bad that the Rolling Stones tour he's been recently talking about is never going to happen...




So, Keith Richards has been busy promoting his new autobiography Life (a bit of a worry for some since he's now know as Jack Sparrow's dad but chats about heroin), recently revealing plans for a Stones tour, telling 6 Music:

"Everybody's ready to go out there again. Who said it should stop, and who said when?"

"Only we will know when it comes to an end, with a crashing halt."

Well, that crashing halt seems to have happened already thanks to his poor crippled claw hands... The extent of his arthritis could be seen when he recently appeared on the Culture Show (pictures above), but not on the front of his new book (see below - an old archive shot was used) and it all sadly means he can hardly play for any amount of time now.

On top of that, the metal plate he got put in his head after "falling out coconut tree" has affected his memory to the extent that at a recent band meeting, concern was raised as the other members weren't convinced he could actually even remember the songs. As such, they are reluctant to even attempt a year long tour - regardless of the billion dollar figure (Ronnie's next girlfriend won't be pleased).

So, the likelihood is that the Rolling Stones will never play live together again.

Yeah, I got this in my inbox a couple of days ago.

Article by "Anonymous," for me, has no credibility.

Holymoly.com is a satirical website. I mean, look at the rest of the links.

For f***s sake, how difficult is it for anyone with a basic command of English to read this piece and not realise that the whole thing is a piss-take?

Yeah, I know. There is something really wrong with Keith's memory.
He has been asking my advice for many years now.
Sometimes I was able to help him out, but not always smiling smiley

He's been goofy and arthritic for some time now. Hasn't stopped the band so far. Plus, you know that they want to make it to the 50 year mark.

I think we have huge landuage problems on this site.
Some people do not know what satire is, nor do they know irony - and a lot of other words - it seems.
But English is the official language here - so I really see no other solution than to suggest that when people are not sure of the meaning of words - like satire and irony - look them up in a dictionary. (that's a book, btw)
confused smiley


LANGUAGE - LANGUAGE - not landuage, as Hansie points out.

That I might know, Rolling Hansie.
But it is a fact that the language skills here --- vary a bit. And it's also a fact that it leads to MANY misunderstandings, arguments ant a lot of confusion.

Absolutely true. Therefore it is sometimes better not to argue here and just have a bit of fun.

This is very true, and in defence of myself, I should like to put it on record that I never resort to sarcasm myself.

OK OK, I lie through my f***ing teeth. But in mitigation I'd just like to say .... er, can't think of any mitigating factors right now, I'll get back to y'all on that - OK ?

To Paul G:
Please change the heading of this thread. (Before it's picked up by some temp in a newspaper who doesn't know what satire is...)

As you now know, this is a a "funny article from a joke-site", satire, irony - made to be funny - but isn't, in this case.

The correct title would perhaps be: Satire site making fun of Keith Richards.

just because it's a piss-taking bit of satire doesn't mean it's wrong....

But that isn't satire, it's gossip. Not correct, I hope, but it is meant as news of a sort.
