His career spans 

over six decades, 

and his

 guitar playing style

 has been a 

trademark of 

the Rolling Stones

 throughout

 the band's career. 

Richards gained 

press notoriety 

for his 

romantic involvements 

and illicit drug use, 

and he was often

 portrayed as a 

countercultural figure.

 First professionally known

 as 

Keith Richard,

 in 1978 

he fully asserted 

his family name.

Richards was born in and grew up

and 

Sidcup Art College. 

After graduating, 

Richards befriended Jagger, 

Bill Wyman, 

Charlie Watts,

 Ian Stewart 

and

 Brian Jones 

and joined

 the Rolling Stones.

 As a member of the group, 

Richards also sings

 lead on some

 of their songs,

 typically at least 

one song per concert,

 including

 "Happy", 

"Before They Make Me Run", 

and

 "Connection". 

Outside of his career 

with 

the Rolling Stones, 

Richards has also played 

with his own side-project, 

The X-Pensive Winos. 

He also appeared in

 two Pirates of the Caribbean films

 as

 Captain Teague,

 father of 

Jack Sparrow, 

whose look

 and characterisation 

were inspired by 

Richards himself.

In 1989, 

Richards was inducted into

 the Rock and Roll 

Hall of Fame 

and in 2004

 into the 

UK Music

 Hall of Fame

 with

 the Rolling Stones. 

Rolling Stone magazine 

ranked him fourth 

on its list of 

100 best guitarists

 in 2011. 

In 2023,

The magazine listed

 that Richards wrote

 with Jagger on its 

"500 Greatest Songs

 of All Time" list.
