LONDON - Keith Richards won’t be in trouble for allegedly smoking in Scotland.

The Rolling Stones guitarist had supposedly been seen by journalists lighting up a cigarette while performing in Glasgow. The city forbids smoking in enclosed public places.

But the city council said today that the stage at Hampden Park where the band performed is exempt from the regulations.

The council also said that it wasn’t clear if the journalists who’d reported the smoking had actually been at the concert.

Richards’ publicists have not commented.

Can you imagine keith Richards with no cigarette on a stage or anywhere else ?

This man permanently lives and sleeps with a cigarette.

Keith with no fag would be like a terrorist with no bomb or a pirate with no hook or a bitch with no making up

it's beyond imagination

the 'offence' took place in Glasgow - not London.

More free publicity.

"The council also said that it wasn’t clear if the journalists who’d reported the smoking had actually been at the concert."

Since when do journalists make up stuff?

Rolling Stones Tribute

Play Rolling Stones

Ofcourse he smoked. He has been for the last 43 years and will be for who knows how long.

Whew! That was a close one.

Yeah, imagine him getting fined!!

One person who wasn't there reported it - 50,000 others who were, didn't give a flying f*ck.

Keith is one of the few people in this world that can make smoking look cool.

you've got the law and you've got Keith Richards....

But to live outside the law you must be honest.
