Keith Richards only talks to his Rolling Stones bandmate Sir Mick Jagger once a year.

When the band aren't touring, the guitarist admits he stays as far away from the rest of the group - singer Mick, drummer Charlie Watts and guitarist Ronnie Wood - as much as possible.

Ronnie Wood wants to take a break from The Rolling Stones and reform his old band.

The 60-year-old guitarist has revealed all the members of his former group the Faces - which also included Rod Stewart - will get back together if they can find time in their busy schedules.

The Rolling Stones have been put on an organic diet by Ronnie Wood's wife.

Jo Wood embraced the healthier form of eating after suffering a perforated appendix, and says it was easy to persuade the wives of Ronnie's bandmates - Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts - to follow suit.

Keith Richards has laughed at Ronnie Wood's autobiography. The Rolling Stones guitarist says in an interview with British magazine Uncut that his bandmate had invented "about 50 percent" of his book entitled "Ronnie."

Richards say, "[It's] about 50 percent off. I read some of the serialization [of Wood's book] in the papers last year. It stands up, but not very well, against [former bandmate] Bill Wyman's book."

Keith Richards has a new addition to his family - the brain surgeon who saved his life.

The Rolling Stones guitarist developed a close relationship with Andrew Law after the New Zealander performed an operation on the rocker's skull in 2006.
