Doesn’t look a day over 90.

Personally, I like his outlook on life and I absolutely love his playing. He was always my most favorite "Stone"

Does anyone know if that M65 was modify by Guild for Keith Richards or if it was done by Keith or a tech?

I would guess it's not a Guild modification but the hareware for mounting the DeArmonds looks like they came from a factory.

I believe Hans has confirmed it's not a factory mod, but admittedly I'm a little too lazy to want to search for the quote right now.

His autobiography is a great read. Pretty smart guy.

Ok I just googled this.

Before you open it guess how old Stevie Nicks is!!!!!!!

Top 21 Rockers Over 70

What a drag it is getting old… but maybe not for these classic rock legends, who are all going strong over the age of 70.

"Life" is one the best musician autobiographies ever. Period. Laugh out loud funny in spots, and great stories. His memory is surprisingly intact!

And Lindsey is 71. Funny thing is I've read accounts that implied that Lindsey was older than Stevie, and robbed the cradle! Seems not. Great writing partners! Lindsey, IMO, is one of the unsung guitar heroes. Loved his tone etc. on the Dance videos.
The other thing of note: I just turned 60. Some of the 60 ers rockers were prominent when I was a toddler. It's amazing that many are actually only in their seventies! If there was no internet, and I was asked their ages, if have to say over 80.....lol.

Ringo's the oldest, but looks the best!

I was amused to find a "Large Print" copy of *Life* at a library sale. That the publisher took aging rock fans with diminishing eyesight into account kinda says it all!

Yeah, 'Life' was a great read - perhaps the best of the rock musician bios. Surprisingly well written - I wonder if Keith had a ghost writer help him?

Yes, James Fox:
