The Many Times Keith Richards Almost Died

Keith Richards just turned 81, and his fans have joked for at least 50 years that if Armageddon happens, he'll be one of the few things still alive, because of all the ways he's beaten up his body and cheated death....probably the first was when he was a baby, and his mom fled London with him during the Nazi air raids..when they returned to their flat, his crib has been blown up. Fast forward to 1965, when he was knocked unconscious and his guitar strings burned when a faulty microphone and mic stand were struck by his guitar....there were at least two fires: in 1971, when he fell asleep with a lit cigarette and his rented villa burned down, and in 1973, when his estate burned...some say it was another lit cigarette--he says a mouse chewed thru some wiring...more on those, plus other times Keith cheated death, including when his drugs were laced with strychnine, and when a wall of books fell on him....https://ultimateclassicrock.com/times-keith-richards-almost-died/
