RICHARDS: 'THE ROLLING STONES WILL KEEP ON ROLLING'

KEITH RICHARDS has ruled out THE ROLLING STONES retiring, insisting he'll "withdraw" his bandmates' wages if they take more than a year off between tours.

The rocker dismisses reports that the most recent Stones tour was the band's last, expressing a desire to die onstage surrounded by his bandmates.

The guitar great says, "I've never heard anything about not going out again. I'm basically giving the guys a year off.

"I'm not pushing but I might withdraw their wages and see how they feel then."

And Richards tells Rolling Stone magazine performing live is like therapy for him: "I go onstage to get some f**king peace and quiet."
