Keith Richards’ preferred mode of communication these days with his fellow Rolling Stones is via fax.
Guitarist Ronnie Wood tells Music-News.com about the challenge that presents. "Keith, he still communicates through fax, no other way but a fax,” says Wood. “That's why I never hear much from him, because I ain't got a fax machine.”
When it does happen, though, it could be important.
“It's fantastic, you get a message from Keith on a fax,” says Ronnie. “You get 'I don't know when, I don't know where, just get ready. Love, Keith'. It means we may be touring sometime in the next decade, I don't know.”
Ronnie, 63, is a huge fan of technology and even carries around spare phones in case his main one fails.
“[I] do have about three old Nokias that sort of operate without a sim card, you know, its fantastic, I just swap the sim card in various areas. I've got my iPhone, which is my main thing, and lots of spares,” he says. “You can get me on Twitter, too.”
