Stones to Play Without Richard?
If Keith Richard receives a long sentence when he appears on ay! .. drug trafficking charge on the 27th June, then the Stones will work! 1 without him. The charges arise out of an incident in Toronto, Canada earlier! this year. Mick Jagger has stated that if Richard were to be absents I from the group for a few months, then they would shelve all plans! for that period. However, if he were to receive a sentence that| would put him out of action for some time, then the Stones would | have to find a replacement. The decision was made after lengthy i discussions among all members of the group. Even if Keith Richard escapes a long sentence, it is likely that the : j Rolling Stones may have to consider replacing him on certain 1 tours. It is considered unlikely that Richard would be granted a visa * for the United States, if convicted on the charges in Canada. The I main charge, that of drug trafficking, carries a maximum possible | . sentence of life imprisonment.
