Keith Richards has confirmed that he apologised to band mater Mick Jagger for revealing too much information about his private life in his acclaimed memoirs. The apology came before the Rolling Stones could begin rehearsals for their upcoming 50th anniversary shows.

 

Richards refers to Jagger several times throughout his book. Apparently he pokes fun at his bandmate, and even mocks the size of his penis in one segment where he talks about the singer’s romance with Richards’ ex, Anita Pallenberg.

 

Reportedly, Jagger wasn’t very happy with these revelations so Richards apologised.

 

Talking to Rolling Stone magazine, he said: "It was something to get out of the bloody way so we could get the band on the road... I said, 'Look forward, brother, look forward’.”

 

"If you was married to somebody for 50 years, you can have your little spats here and there, and we don't mind having them in public occasionally.”

 

 Jagger acknowledges his bandmate's apology, adding: "He did apologise, to my face, so you have to put all that sort of stuff away. (It's) water under the bridge, really.”
