ROLLING STONES star KEITH RICHARDS had hit out at his bandmate SIR MICK JAGGER - branding him a 'power freak' and 'vain'.

The 64-year-old guitarist calls the singer a "maniac" but insists the legendary rockers would not have enjoyed such a long and successful career if Jagger wasn't so driven.
So Richards and the rest of the band - guitarist Ronnie Wood and drummer Charlie Watts - just leave him to his own devices.
He tells British magazine Uncut, "Mick's a maniac. He can't get up in the morning without knowing immediately who he's going to call.
"He is a power freak and there's nothing we can do about it. I don't want to do anything about it. Let him bugger about. It doesn't make any difference to what we do.
"He's a bit vain, let's put it like that. We want a vain bloke up there, don't we? Meanwhile, the band can go to work. Vanity will not carry a band. But a band can carry vanity."
