Keith Richards Gives Up Booze - World Ends Tomorrow

Like Kirstie Alley giving up food, Pete Doperty giving up being a train wreck or the human race giving up breathing air, I never thought I would ever, ever report that Keith Richards has given up booze.

I mean, I thought the dude's blood had been replaced with booze at least three decades ago. But The Sun has reported that Keith Richards has stopped drinking and has apparently been off the alcohol for four months.

A source has told The Sun, “He has always quite enjoyed the fact that he seemed to be able to carry on drinking as much as he liked with no real negative impact on his health.”

According to the story, what prompted Keith to jump on the wagon was seeing bandmate Ronnie Wood getting into drinking very heavily recently. That, and Woodie dating children as a result...

“He has watched Ronnie fall well and truly off the wagon last year and he doesn’t like what he sees. Plus he has started to feel for the first time like it might do him some good to give up the booze for a while.”

Wow. Well, OK. Good on ya Keith! Good luck man.

Next stop: Celebrity Rehab - That would be killer TV...

Whatever anyone may say about this guy, he's a pretty sharp tack. Definitely comes from pretty healthy stock to have survived all of his travels since the Stones first clicked with an international audience.

And pigs fly and hell freezes over. Never count your chickens till there hatched or something like that.
