LONDON, UK. (THECOUNT) — Keith Richards has announced the unthinkable.. He has quit his over sixty-year love affair with cigarettes.
Richards, 76, confirmed that he hasn’t touched a smoke since October, although he admits to still partaking in a “Guinness or two.”
“Done that, been there,” Richards told Jim Kerr of New York’s Q104.3 (via NME), a year after admitting it was “harder to quit than heroin.”
The Rolling Stones just announced another round of shows, this time across North America later in 2020. A string of dates were rescheduled last year after singer Mick Jagger had heart surgery, reports UltimateClassicRock.
He’s also cut back on drinking. “I’ve knocked the hard stuff on the head,” Richards added. “I have a little wine with meals, and a Guinness or a beer or two.”
