The Untold Truth Of Keith Richards

Keith Richards is a revered veteran of the music industry, and quite possibly one of the last true rock stars still walking the Earth. The guitar maestro of the Rolling Stones has been living his hardest, most Keith Richards life since the 1960s. Here's the untold truth of Keith Richards.

Keith Richards has been around for such a long time that it can be hard to imagine him as an innocent child. Yet he was...and according to The Guardian, young Richards had surprisingly goody-two-shoes hobbies. The rock legend used to be a boy scout. According to the Daily Beast, his boy scout past as head of a Beaver Patrol taught him valuable lessons about teamwork and leadership. However, it looks like he already had a rock star streak during his time with them, seeing as he was eventually discharged for getting into a fight with another young scout.

According to DW, Richards was also in choir. Believe it or not, his career as a choirboy was actually quite impressive: He sang soprano and performed at Westminster Abbey for Queen Elizabeth the second. Although, he later swore allegiance to another royal icon.

Richards' time in a choir seems to have left its mark on him. The Telegraph reports that the guitarist and a number of his Jamaican Rastafari friends have a group they call Jamaica's Wingless Angels. The group has been active since the 1970s and uses old choral hymns, chanting, and drumming to create sparse, repetitive songs. While there is a thread that connects their music to Richards' early choir days, this group of singers is much, much more fun to hang out with.
