Keith Richards, of the Rolling Stones, is getting $7 million to write his memoirs. It should come as no surprise since he has had a very interesting life, lets just hope he doesn't leave out the good bits.
The memoir will hit stores in the fall of 2010, said New York-based publisher Little, Brown and Co., which partnered with Britain's Weidenfeld & Nicolson to secure worldwide English-language rights.Media reports said on Tuesday a bidding war pushed the price above $7 million, a hefty sum given that music-based books are traditionally not big sellers. Legendary guitarist Eric Clapton reportedly received a $5 million advance for his upcoming memoir.
