Keith Richards' Lifestyle Change Is Something Fans Might Not Expect
Speaking to Anthony Mason for a CBS Sunday Morning interview, Keith Richards acknowledged that he'd finally quit smoking. "Luckily, I just don't miss it, and that makes me feel good," Richards said with a laugh. It turns out that two years ago, with the help of "a few patches for a few of weeks," Richards gave up cigarettes after smoking for 55 years. "Sometimes a bell rings and something inside says, 'Hey pal, enough...' I just put the hammer on it," Richards said. He added that he has a lot more stamina now, and a lot more "wind" in the lungs.
Richards may be "getting on a bit," as he put it, but don't mistake his (relatively) new straight-edge approach to substances for the lifestyle of your average 78-year-old man. The Rolling Stones, including Richards and frontman Mick Jagger, announced a new European tour this summer, called "Sixty" to commemorate the band's 60th anniversary, according to CNN. When was the last time your grandpa did that?
