Rolling Stones Legend Keith Richards Take Over TV Channel

(Classic Rock) Keith Richards has taken over the UK TV channel BBC4 this weekend. It was previously announced that the Rolling Stones guitarist would be given free-reign to curate programming about whatever he finds interesting. And now it has been confirmed that Keith Richards' Lost Weekend is airing on BBC4 from 7pm on 23, 24 and 25 September.

Richards, 72, is working with music documentary film-maker Julien Temple on the project which has seen him put together a line-up of films, cartoons, music clips and other footage.

Temple tells the Guardian: "I don't think many people could pull it off. He's one of the greatest raconteurs, so spending time with him is real quality time - and his life philosophy and survival strategies and contagious sense of humor will come together to create a good mix over those 27 hours."
