Rolling Stones: Keith apologizes to Mick

Rolling Stones: Keith apologizes to Mick

Keith Richards' 2010 memoir, the best seller titled "Life", brought to a pretty ugly feud between him and his 50 years partner in rock sir Mick Jagger.
As Rolling Stone magazine reports, Richards in a new interview conducted for an upcoming documentary on the band, apologized about the comments he made about Jagger in his book. Here is the exchange:

How have you both found surveying a journey that has already lasted 50 years? It must have been difficult at times, bearing in mind the nature of your relationship and especially the stories we have all heard about the tensions that resulted from the publication of "Life".

Mick: "Well, I’m glad you said 50 years as that sounds so much less than half a century (laughs). Looking back at any career you are bound to recall both the highs and the lows. In the 1980s for instance Keith and I were not communicating very well. I got very involved with the business side of the Stones, mainly because I felt no one else was interested, but it’s plain now from the book that Keith felt excluded, which is a pity. Time I reckon to move on".

Keith: "Mick’s right. He and I have had conversations over the last year of a kind we have not had for an extremely long time and that has been incredibly important to me. As far as the book goes, it was my story and it was very raw, as I meant it to be, but I know that some parts of it and some of the publicity really offended Mick and I regret that".





The documentary will be the first to tell the story of the Rolling Stones' full career, featuring a lot of of uncensored, never-before-seen footage from the band's vaults and personal archives. The band has tapped "The Kid Stays in the Picture" director Brett Morgen for the project, which as of yet has no official title. The Rolling Stones are the executive producers of the film, which is scheduled to debut at the band's 50th anniversary celebrations in September.
