Keith Richards Put Sword to Documentary-Maker's Throat
The director of a new documentary about Keith Richards’ childhood has recalled how The Rolling Stones guitarist held a sword to his throat the first time they met.
Julien Temple has directed Keith Richards: The Origin Of The Species about Richards’ childhood growing up in Kent in the aftermath of World War II.
The pair first met when Temple directed the video for The Rolling Stones’ 1983 single ‘Undercover Of The Night’. Filmed in Mexico City, it features Mick Jagger as a detective on the trail of a man kidnapped by a gang led by Richards.
