Keith Richards Has Been Wearing His “Comfies” During The Pandemic, And Says He’ll Die When He Dies

Keith Richards recently sat down with GQ to promote the reissued box set of Live at the Hollywood Palladium, his 1988 show with (his other band) The X-Pensive Winos. He talked about music and his day-to-day life during the pandemic. The 76-year-old has been living in his Connecticut home with wife, Patti Hansen, their two dogs, Sugar and Honey, and their two daughters, Theodora, 35, and Alexandra, 34. And yes, like all us non-famouses, Keef’s been dressing like a grub in his “comfies” (awww).

via GQ:

What’s your pandemic style been like?

Very comfortable garments. Very casual, I don’t dress up.

So Keith Richards is wearing sweatpants at home?

I call them comfies. Yeah. Very baggy soft things. And some Uggy boots.

Some ugly boots?

Uggies, you know.

Oh, Uggs, yeah.

The peasant-looking things.

I can’t be the only one who wanted to shake the interviewer and scream, “Uggs! He means Uggs! UGG BOOTS! Like a basic Lululemon-wearing white chick from 2007!”

The discussion soon turned to mortality. Keith says, “I don’t even know quite honestly how old I am. It goes on and on” (great tagline for life). The interviewer then asked:

People have been wondering in interviews when you’re going to die for the last 50 years. How satisfying is it to still be here?

Every day is a pleasure. I mean, I don’t wish to defy anybody’s predictions and I’m really not interested in them. But I’ll croak when I croak and everybody will know.

Yep, for sure everyone will know when Keith dies because it will mean hell has frozen over. If he’s still alive and kicking after a half-century of booze, drugs, and rock n’ roll, it means he’s never gonna croak. My guess is that way back in the seventies he and Ozzy Osbourne guzzled some of that magic immortality potion from Death Becomes Her. A hundred years from now they’ll still be rattling around like zombies, releasing biographies and box sets.
