Keith Richards: Still Smoking Weed "All The Time" And Worrying For Winehouse

In an exclusive interview for The Mail on Sunday's Live magazine, 'Keef' spoke frankly of his own drug-taking.

The guitarist - who inspired Johnny Depp's character Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates Of The Caribbean - said he still listens to his old blues heroes such as Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry and Jimmy Reed.

Asked which modern artists he rated, he said: "There's only one person. That girl Amy.

"Mind you, that girl isn't going to be around long unless she sorts herself out pretty quick. Amy's got to get smart."

Richards, 64, said he did not expect her to listen. He said: "I'm not a preacher. But I've been there and you have to pass it on."

The former heroin addict admitted he still "smokes weed all the damn time" and said he was once so high on drugs he let a firework burn his finger to the bone.
