Keith Richards’ reputation for excess is legendary, but it has nearly ended his career many times. In part 1 of "The Life and Crimes of Keith Richards", we follow his journey from a blues‑obsessed kid in England to a founding member of the Rolling Stones, charting early fights, drug use, tabloid scandals, and repeated arrests that somehow never stuck.
We dig into the infamous Redlands drug raid, exile-era chaos in France, narrow escapes in the U.S., and personal tragedy in the mid‑1970s. It ends with the moment that finally seemed unavoidable: Keith’s 1977 Toronto heroin bust, where prison time looked certain...and the legend was truly put to the test.
