"I'm sorry for the comments about Mick, they were completely unnecessary ," said the guitarist after suggesting that the musician should "get his hair cut."
Keith Richards apologized to Mick Jagger for a joke he made during a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal . At the time, he stated that his 73-year-old colleague should get a vasectomy. Jagger and his girlfriend Melanie Hamrick had their first child (and the musician's eighth), Deveraux, in December 2016.
“Mick is an old man who never stops,” said the Rolling Stones guitarist in the article published last Wednesday, the 28th. “He shouldn’t be a father at that age. Poor kids!” After the interview came out, Richards released a statement apologizing for suggesting that Jagger should have a vasectomy.
On Twitter, he addressed the situation. “I’m sorry for the comments I made about Mick in the Wall Street Journal. They were completely unnecessary. Of course, I apologized to him personally.” See the original tweet below.
I deeply regret the comments I made about Mick in the WSJ which were completely out of line. I have of course apologized to him in person.

Rolling Stones fans that the band will eventually release a new album. “I’m going to sound like [US President Donald] Trump now – ‘It’s going to happen; don’t worry’ – but it’s still in the early stages ,” he said. The group released Blue and Lonesome , an album of blues covers, in 2016.
