Keith Richards
Born during a WW2 air raid and raised in the deprived bombed-out streets of postwar England, Keith Richards went from being beaten by bullies to terrifying British society while leading a global wave of radical societal change.

Now she’s inspiring a new generation of female rock artists while using her enormous fame to support a wide range of charitable causes.
