Report: Keith Richards Threatens Journalist During Interview

Recommended Posts

If you're a journalist, it's wise not to criticize the Rolling Stones because guitarist Keith Richards may come looking for you. Klas Lindberg, the entertainment manager at Swedish publication Aftonbladet, said that one of his reporters, Markus Larsson, got into an argument with Richards during a recent interview in Paris.

Back in 2007, Larsson gave two stars out of five for a Stones concert in Sweden, and Richards evidently hasn't forgotten the diss. Ten minutes into the recent interview, Richards realized who he was speaking with. Lindberg said the interview quickly "ended with the rock star threatening Markus Larsson and hitting him in the head." He added that the 66-year-old guitarist told the reporter "You're lucky to get out of here alive" before stalking off.

Larsson recalled that "[Richards'] eyes got black and he was absolutely furious," and said the guitarist "asked if we would put out the lights and settle the disagreement straight away." At first, Larsson thought Richards was joking but soon realized "he was serious and then I felt uncomfortable and I just wanted to get out of there pretty fast."
