When the Stones played Hyde Park in 2013 the Daily Mail ran a story about Keith and Brian and the rumoured knife fight in 1969. The Daily Mail had a lot more stuff and the Stones lawyers and Daily Mail lawyers met backstage. That meeting turned really ugly.

When Keith in Life talks about Brian's death and all the floating theories he says something like "...any daughter of anyone could come up with a statement'.In my view a clear reference to Frank's daughter.He must have known about her making the claim. The only way Keith could have known in 2005 this statement was there, was through his lawyers, because this information wasn't in the public domain at that moment. My conclusion? An incident happened and both the lawyers and the police have a reason to not open up that can of worms.

Keith wanted to open up in Life about the triangle Chelsea Drugs Squad / London gangsters / Rolling Stones. His lawyers strongly advised against it and he obeyed.

Not how I took it at all. I'm not a Keith apologist. I'm not a fan of much of LIFE apart from the childhood chapters. However, the bit in the book is about Frank's alleged deathbed confession only. Keith says:
"I'm always wary of deathbed confessions because the only person there is the person he's supposed to have said it to, some uncle, daughter, or whatever. 'On his deathbed, he said he killed Brian.' Whether he did or not I don't know....But when somebody says, 'I did Brian,' at the very most I'd put it down to manslaughter. All right, you may have pushed him under, but you weren't there to murder him."

Hi Georgie48,it’s probably because I’m tired but you lost me.
The real and untold reason why Brian died is because he crossed the line with a London gangster. Tom Keylock was his money laundry man and both Tom and the gangster were protected by Wallace Virgo of Scotland Yard.

Keith has a point there. Also, it was Keylock who "was at Frank's deathbed" and it appears that Keylock is appointed a mean suspect where it comes to investigations said to be initiated by Alan Klein. Anyway, whe're dealing here with a clear case of "where there is smoke, there must be fire". No fire, no need to hide anything, no need to be afraid.
