The wrinkly rocker tells Men's Journal magazine he'd relocate his family to Jamaica or his Parrot Cay retreat if he learned his death was coming - and just "hang out".

Documentary maker Brett Morgen is glad his new Rolling Stones movie Crossfire Hurricane did not follow the band past 1981, because he didn't have to revisit the drama of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards' fabled feud while the bandmates were still at war over remarks the guitarist had made about his frontman in his memoirs.

The Rolling Stones veteran released his tell-all tome Life last year and received much acclaim for the literary work, but Richards admits the book has done more than just entertain followers - it's altered his perception in the eyes of the public.
