Keith Richards: Mick Jagger was "unbearable"

LONDON (Reuters) – Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards says in his new autobiography that Mick Jagger became unbearable over the years and reveals he also calls the imperious lead singer "Your Majesty" and "Brenda."
The memoir is peppered with references to other celebrities -- from Johnny Depp to John Lennon -- but it is the prickly dynamic between Richards and Jagger that dominates the 527-page book, which is to be serialized in The Times newspaper.
Richards, 66, who met Jagger at the age of four, says he has not stepped foot in Jagger's dressing room in 20 years.
"It was the beginning of the Eighties when Mick started to become unbearable," Richards writes in the memoir, "Life," which brought him an advance of 4.8 million pounds ($7.7 million) after a massive bidding war among publishers.
Richards and Jagger were two of the Stones' founding members in 1962 and wrote its hit songs, leading the group to sales of more than 200 million albums worldwide.
"Sometimes I think: 'I miss my friend,'" Richards writes. "I wonder: 'where did he go?'"

Richards himself is famous for his insatiable appetite for drugs, although he gave up heroin in 1978 after a fifth drug bust and stopped using cocaine after a 2006 fall in Fiji forced him to undergo brain surgery.
He said he does not regret his exploits.
"I loved a good high. And if you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they're asleep," Richards said.
During his addict days in the 1960s and 1970s, he spent a decade on the "People Most Likely to Die List."
"Well, I'm not putting death on the agenda," he told the Times. "I don't want to see my old friend Lucifer just yet."

Richards is an old man but hasn't gained any wisdom. He won't see Lucifer when he dies and he is deceived to think the Devil is his friend, but he will end up in the same place unless he repents and receives Christ.
