Keith Richards warns Doherty

Rolling Stones rocker Keith Richards has urged Kate Moss to ditch boyfriend Pete Doherty, claiming their relationship and his drug habit will kill him.

Just days after Richards' bandmate Ronnie Wood poured scorn over the fashionable couple's romance, Richards claims the pair are dangerous for each other.

The 63-year-old rocker - who has a long history of drug abuse and is a former heroin user - tells British music magazine NME: "He (Doherty) should shut the f**k up and leave her alone. I don't know the man.

"All I know is he's pushing his luck and there it is. But so is Kate, who I know very well.

"Kate wants to play with the bad boys and she's done one, then another, then another. She'll live, the boys will die."
