Keith Richards as Captain Jack Sparrow’s Dad
According to the Sydney Morning Herald in an article entitled The New Stones Age, writer Patrick Donovan says Keith Richards will be a bloody pirate after all…
For most shows, Richards has been singing the new song This Place Is Empty as well as his classic, Happy. How does it feel singing that joyous song each night?
“I love it. People don’t usually associate happiness when they think of Keith Richards. But I’m a very happy guy. I’ve had my f—ups – but who hasn’t?”
Once Richards finishes this tour he will take up a new hobby – acting. He’s playing the father of Johnny Depp’s Captain Sparrow character in Pirates of the Caribbean 2 – a role he was born for.
“Johnny Depp came over the other day with 3000 pirate costumes, which we tried on all day. I wanted to keep some tall boots.”
