Fans are hoping for (and rumors are promising) stories about Richards’ two famous arrests and his flings with fashion models, but here’s hoping ol’ Keith just remembers to be kind to his ghost writer, who will no doubt be undertaking the task of a lifetime trying to piece together the vague recollections of the drug-addled, geriatric rock star.
