DID KEEF LET IT BLEED FOR A SECRET MEDICAL PROCEDURE IN SWITZERLAND?
It’s one of rock’s most infamous and tantalizing myths: Keith Richards traveled to Switzerland in the early ’70s to kick heroin by having his blood completely drained and replenished. Keith says he didn’t; others say he did. Trouble is, everyone’s stories seem to be as full of holes as a piece of, well, Swiss cheese.
“The lifeblood of good conspiracies is that you’ll never find out,” Richards wrote in his 2010 autobiography, Life; “the lack of evidence keeps them fresh. No one’s ever going to find out if I had my blood changed or not. The story is well beyond the reach of evidence or, if it never happened, my denials.”
While he was making the rounds promoting Life, Richards appeared on TV’s CBS Sunday Morning, where he was asked about the story by interviewer Anthony Mason. “I created the myth,” Richards said. “It’s all my own work.” He claimed he was on the way to Switzerland to kick his debilitating heroin habit (presumably in another fashion) and, pursued at the airport by paparazzi who wanted to know what he was up to, made up a story.
“I said ‘I’m gonna get my blood changed,’” Richards said he told them. “I just wanted ’em off my back. So I just spun a yarn. I’m still living with it.”
Besides, he concluded with bravado, “I wouldn’t swap this blood for nobody.”

So that’s it, then. The “vampire myth,” bloody good tale though it is, is untrue.
Well, not so fast.
This much is certain: At the time the blood transfusion allegedly took place, the Rolling Stones were about to go on their 1973 tour of Europe. For Richards to survive the rigors of performing—never mind the complications of crossing borders, smuggling drugs, making new connections in foreign lands, etc.—he knew he had to get off of heroin, and in very short order.
