Keith Richards Says Mick Jagger 'Used' Rolling Stones Fame

Despite Richard's critical writings of Jagger, he says the legendary frontman has read the book, revealing that "it opened his eyes". In an interview with CBS News, Richards spoke at length about how Jagger's decision to make solo records was the main reason behind their feuds, saying, "He was pretty tough on me, as far as I'm concerned. He had set himself a separate agenda that didn't include any of us, and riding on the Stones' fame to do it. And I thought that was a cheap shot".

When asked how he would describe his current relationship with Jagger, the 66-year-old guitarist said, "We're not really friends anymore but we'll always be brothers", adding, "I would prefer us to be closer as guys. But I don't socialize the way Mick does."
