Requiescat in pace but damn he made it quite far given that wasn't he one of the ones that was once on the 'heavy abuse of substances' side?
Keith Richards is in his eighties and playing live shows. He did so many drugs that he solidly can't remember a full decade of his life. There's no arguing with good genetics.
Keith Richards may just be a sentient rubber plant considering how immortal he appears to be.
Makes me wonder about the urban rumor that he used to sporadically kick his heroin addiction by going to Switzerland and getting all his blood replaced.
Dude might be a legit vampire.
He'd have to be there constantly.
Your own red blood cells only live 90-120 days.
The donor ones have a significantly lower shelf life, closer to a month.
Well everyone roughly has about 5 liters of blood and you can lose up to 1 a day and not pass out. Give him a week and all the blood should be replaced (in theory). So not entirely IMPOSSIBLE but most definitely extremely expensive.
I think doctors sequenced his genome a couple years back and found out he's got mutations that are linked to drug resistance of some type. As in, the type that has prevented him from dying like 50 times in his life, and not that he can't get high. He still fucked up his brain real hard from drug abuse, but he's a scientific marvel that he lasted so long.
It's sort of like once every million or so people you got that guy who smokes like a chimney and loves alcohol and lives cancer-free until he's 95 and then just dies of a heart attack.
