Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger Calls Keith Richards Memoirs 'Tedious'

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has criticised people in the public eye who choose to release an autobiography.

In October, Jagger's bandmate Keith Richards released his memoirs, Life, which lifted the lid on his relationship with the singer.

In an interview with the New York Times, Jagger said he didn't understand the need for autobiographies.

"Personally, I think it's really quite tedious raking over the past," he said. "Mostly, people only do it for money."

When asked if he might consider releasing his own, Jagger replied: "You don't want to end up like some old footballer in a pub, talking about how he made the cross in the cup final in 1964.”

Richards book Life has proved hugely popular, and is currently ranked fifth on online retailer Amazon's best seller's list.

He has insisted that his relationship with Jagger is still strong, despite his frank recollection of the past covered in his book.
