this is a man who once quit heroin by becoming an alcoholic
Keith Richards has taken a health conscious move - he has
started drinking organic vodka.
The Rolling Stones rocker, who is renowned for his drink and drug
use, was encouraged to go organic by bandmate Ronnie Wood's wife,
Jo Wood, who is a keen advocate for green living.
Jo told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "I bought Keith 12
bottles of organic vodka for his birthday in December and when he
got it he cracked up.
I'm always going on about how the band should drink organic booze -
they get really sick of me going on sometimes." At the height of
their fame, The Stones - who also currently comprise of Sir Mick
Jagger and drummer Charlie Watts - were notorious for their
fast-living rock 'n' roll lifestyle.
Jo developed an interest in alternative health and organic food
after being wrongly diagnosed with Chron's disease.
She went on to write a book, 'Naturally: How To Look And Feel
Healthy And Radiant', and launch a range of organic beauty
products.
Jo has encouraged all her husband's bandmates to lead healthier
lifestyles and the ageing rockers have even been spotted out
jogging together in recent months.
