RICHARDS STARTED OUT AS DIDDLEY GROUP MINDER

THE ROLLING STONES star KEITH RICHARDS began his rock 'n' roll education by making sure guitar great BO DIDDLEY's percussionist wasn't too drunk to play.

The rock legend credits The Rolling Stones' early 60s tour with Diddley as his "university" because it taught him how to be wild and professional at the same time.

He explains, "It was my job to be Jerome Green's minder. I used to fetch him from the pub - 'You're on, mate.'"
