Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards insists he never wanted to be a famous rock star and would’ve been happy to be playing music for an unknown band. He’s convinced that fame has not made him happy, it’s his love for music. He said:

“I’ve been invented by the media. I’m just a minstrel. I didn’t want to be a rock star, just play music. I realized to do that, you had to be famous. It is nothing to do with wanting to be a star.”

He’s a true music lover but somehow got rich while doing it. Cool!
