Richards disputes accuracy of Wood's autobiography

Rolling Stones star Keith Richards has suggested bandmate Ronnie Wood made up much of his recent autobiography - because stories about the two guitarists are only "about 50 per cent" correct.

Rolling Stones star Keith Richards has suggested bandmate Ronnie Wood made up much of his recent autobiography - because stories about the two guitarists are only "about 50 per cent" correct.

The 'Miss You' star was left bemused by some tall tales in the book, 'Ronnie', such as the time Wood threatened him with a firearm - because he's sure they never took place.

Richards tells British magazine 'Uncut': "(It's) about 50 per cent off. I read some of the serialisation (of Wood's book) in the papers last year. It stands up, but not very well, against (former bandmate) Bill Wyman's book.

"I don't want to listen to that crap. Ronnie is a big mouth. I love him dearly, but he's a flip-flap. I mean, I can never remember Ronnie pulling a gun on me.

"Some of these stories were so out of the picture that I just gave up and laughed."
