Keith Richards has branded his short stretch in Wormwood Scrubs prison “weird”. The Rolling Stones guitarist, 78, was sentenced to a year behind bars after the infamous drugs raid on his Redlands estate, where his then-girlfriend Marianne Faithfull was famously found wearing only a bearskin rug.

The Stones’ lead singer Mick Jagger was also arrested at Richards' Redlands home in West Wittering, Sussex, for drug possession.
