RICHARDS: STONES AREN'T IN IT FOR THE MONEY

Rock legend KEITH RICHARDS has slammed suggestions that THE ROLLING STONES endure gruelling hours of touring solely for the vast income it brings in.

The 63-year-old insists that there is much more to performing night after night than the financial rewards - which are said to be approaching.

The Rolling Stones are in the midst of the A Bigger Bang tour, which after continuing for over two years is said to be one of the longest and highest grossing having pulled in over $436 million (GBP218 million) to date.

Richards says, "I don't think you could get these guys to do it just for the money.

"It's still a bloody adventure. Every time you set sail on these things, they're never the same and I love to see the world and I hope the world loves to see me.

"You get this insane idea that you can only do this between 17 and 25, but y'know, I'm not a tennis player. I'll show you how long it can be done."
