On Thursday (5.01,) during an interview with Virgin Radio UK, Richard Branson reminisced about saving the life of Keith Richards when a man showed up with a gun to kill the musician.
Famous for being a close friend to countless A-Listers, the now 74-year-old founder of Virgin records clearly counts the iconic Rolling Stones guitarist among them.
Recalling the incident, the legendary UK businessman once saved the now 81-year-old artist from being murdered when a man showed up looking to kill him, stating:
“I went to the front door. There was this huge guy there and he had a gun.” “He went, ‘I’ve come to kill Keith Richards, he’s in your house with my wife.'” “As I was talking to him, I saw a naked Keith Richards and a naked wife running behind him across the lawn.” “I said, ‘Put the gun down and you can search the house’. He searched the house, he apologized, he left.” “About an hour later, a naked Keith Richards came back without the wife.”
Since 1979, Keith has been in a relationship with model Patti Hansen and they’ve been husband and wife since 1983. While the musician has three other children from a prior relationship with late model Anita Pallenberg, the current couple share two children together.
