Here is a scene that neither of them probably expected to see: Keith Richards, who is still rocking at the age of 73 despite a lifetime of drink and drug abuse, enjoys a tipple with former Rolling Stones 'wild child' groupie, 70-year-old Marianne Faithfull.
The pair were reunited after a Stones concert this week in Paris, where Marianne — whose poor health has led her to describe herself as a 'cripple'— now lives.
Dressed in a camouflage jacket and a lurid bandana, Richards raises a glass of what looks like rosé wine, while she toasts him with a cup of tea at his hotel.
Looking elegant in a white blouse, dark jacket and colourful scarf, Marianne lifts her eyes to meet Richards' and they share an intimate look that seems to roll back the years.
Army officer's daughter Marianne was the long-term girlfriend of the Stones lead singer Mick Jagger when she was seduced by guitarist Richards in 1969.
It was 'not the first time that we'd been in competition for a bird', Richards wrote in his 2010 autobiography, Life, adding: 'It was like two alphas fighting. Still is, quite honestly.'
His revenge in bedding Marianne — which he says happened only once — was interrupted when Jagger returned home early.
Their 'hot and sweaty' episode was cut short as Richards 'did one out the window' clutching his clothes, although he accidentally left his socks behind.He revealed: 'Marianne and I still have this joke. She sends me messages: 'I still can't find your socks.' ( Mail on line)
