Keith Richards should have died eight years ago, according to a health
expert.
The 60-year-old Rolling Stone has outlived all expectations and "eluded death"
after years of hard living, claims American gerontologist David Demko.
David Demko investigated the lifestyles of music's biggest names and predicted
their death dates in a survey entitled When will Your Favourite Rock star die?
for US music magazine Blender.
"He should have passed away at 52," Demko said of the apparently indestructible
Richards. "I'm not sure how he does it, but he defies all conventional wisdom.
Eighty percent of the factors that control how long you live are related to your
lifestyle - not genes."
The guitarist himself admitted on his 60th birthday last year: "There are a lot
of people who never thought I'd make it this far."
Among his other predictions, Demko concluded that Ozzy Osborne will die in 2013
aged 65, Whitney Houston, 40, will only make it to 59 and Michael Jackson, 45,
will die at the age of 76.
But green man Sting fares rather better in the life expectancy list. According
to Demko's calculation, the former Police frontman should live to the ripe old
age of 93.
