Drunk Keith Richards Nearly Topples From Stage

Keith Richards was so drunk at a Rolling Stones gig this week he had to be stopped from falling from the stage by Mick Jagger.

The guitarist was saved from falling 20 foot into the crowd by a clearly unimpressed Sir Mick in Helsinki on Wednesday night.

Despite Mick’s help Keith also ended up on his arse during ‘Honky Tonk Woman’ and ‘She’s So Cold’, according to a report in the Sun.

Fan Paul Clark, who travelled from the UK to Finland to see the gig at the Olympic Stadium, told the paper, “Mick and Ronnie didn’t look too pleased. Mick, at one point, had to hold on to Keith to stop him falling off the stage.

“And at another point he stumbled sideways and if it wasn’t for the rail he’d have fallen 20 feet into the crowd.

“The roadies held him up while they strapped his guitar on him. His guitar work was all over the place. Mick was brilliant and he held the show together.”
