A lot of people jokingly say rockers like Keith Richards and Ozzy Osbourne will outlive us all, despite putting their bodies thru huge punishment from drugs and hard living, but Keith, in particular, has survived several brushes with death, starting as a baby. His mom took him during the World War II Nazi air bombings of London out of the city to be safer....when they returned home, his baby bed had been blown up, and some of their neighbors had been killed in the bombings. Fast forward to the 1960's, when Keith was nearly electrocuted onstage when he touched his guitar to a microphone that sent a shock thru him, knocking him unconscious. There were bed and house fires in the early 70's when Keith was an addict who was known to fall asleep with lit cigarettes in his hand...also in the 1970's, Keith says he was poisoned when someone put strychnine in his drugs. There was the time a pile of books fell on him when he was reaching for one on a chair, there was the time he fell out of a tree in Fiji....and more! Get the details about all these and more, here.
