Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has demanded apologies

Rolling Stone’s loud mouthed guitarist Keith Richards has demanded that two Swedish newspapers apologise for publishing bad reviews of one of the band’s recent gigs on their world tour.

Keith Richards, in a letter to the concert promoters wrote, ““Never before have I risen to the bait of a bad review. You owe our fans and us an apology.” Newspaper Expressen used the headline “Keith was super drunk”, giving the 63 year-old no stars for his performance.
The second reviewer in the equation, in the paper Aftonbladet has refused to apologise for his “subjective opinion”. and gave the whole show a measly 2 stars.

The letter written by Richard’s was published in Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter, continued to say, “There were 56,000 people in Ullevi stadium who bought a ticket to our concert - and experienced a completely different show than the one you ‘reviewed’. How dare you cheapen the experience for them - and for the hundreds of thousands of other people across Sweden who weren’t at Ullevi and have only your ‘review’ to go on. Write the truth. It was a good show.

Hitting back, Markus Larsson, reviewer for Aftonbladet has said that it is Richard’s who should apologise stating, “After all, it costs around 1,000 krona (£72) to see a rock star who can hardly handle the [guitar] riff to Brown Sugar any more.”

The band, who rank at number 4 on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list have just wrapped their ‘Bigger Bang’ tour in London and it goes without saying they received rave reviews from their home town!
