Richards blasts ‘Sir Mick’

Share

Keith Richards is not amused.

The famed Rolling Stones guitarist has flown into a rock ‘n’ roll rage against Mick Jagger over the singer’s decision to accept a knighthood, the ultimate nod from the British establishment.

“I don’t want to step out onstage with someone wearing a coronet and sporting the old ermine,” Richards told British music magazine Uncut in an expletive-rich interview.

“I told Mick it’s a paltry honor.... It’s not what the Stones is about, is it?”

Jagger, 60, is scheduled to become “Sir Mick” at a Buckingham Palace ceremony next Friday. Paul McCartney and Elton John already have been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.
